Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.
******************************************************

1) Krasi, a superb Greek restaurant in Boston, has a new Brunch menu and there's certainly many interesting items on the menu. Some of the items that sound appealing to me include: Baklava Muffin (with walnuts, Greek honey, cinnamon, & clove), Koulouri homemade sesame bread, Greek honey butter), Strapatsada (tomato & feta scramble, mushrooms, frigania toast), Saganaki (fried egg, kasseri, feta, boukovo, cherry tomatoes), and Tsoureki (merenda, kataifi crumble, Metaxa glazed apples, whipped cream). 

You'll also find cocktails such as as Aphrodite's Bellini, Bloody Mitsos, and a Greek Negroni. Plus, they offer a special $20 Wine Carafe. This summer, Krasi would be a great place for Brunch (or dinner).

2) Kane’s Donuts has a number of new summery flavors for July, including the Pink Lemonade Donut, Fried Dough Donut, and S’mores Donut. The Pink Lemonade donut is a light, fluffy, yeast style donut filled with lemon curd filling, iced with a tangy pink lemonade icing, then topped with a candy lemon slice. The Fried Dough donut is fluffy, airy, yeast donut and doused with salted sweet-cream butter and heavily dusted with classic fried-dough cinnamon and sugar mix. The S’mores donut is a yeast style donut, frosted with Kane’s rich, decadent, chocolate frosting, then topped with broken graham crackers, mini marshmallows and torched to give that tasty campfire flavor. Check them out!

3) Bar Enza will transport guests to the seascapes of Italy at their upcoming Italian Island Vacation Wine Dinner on Wednesday, July 20, from 6pm-8pm. The evening will feature four courses from Chef Mark Ladner and premium pours from Sardinia, Sicily, and Ischia, Bay of Naples alongside conversation with Bar Enza's sommelier.
