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) I'm excited that Greco Truly Greek is coming to Burlington! Xenia Greek Hospitality is expanding to the suburbs, opening a branch of their Greco Truly Greek eatery at The Burlington Mall, and it's currently slated to open in early 2024.  The new restaurant will consist of a 2,400 square foot indoor space, which will seat for 54 people, as well as a 625 square foot seasonal patio which will seat 34.

Greco Truly Greek eatery embodies the neighborhood that the owners Demetri Tsolakis and Stefanos Ougrinis grew up in, the stories they heard and the people they love. Greco shares all of their tastes of home. Greco is their “meraki,” the need to remember and create. Together with Culinary Director Brendan Pelley, the team at Greco has found a way to blend quality and convenience, and take Greek street fare to a whole new level.

The menu at Greco showcases a mix of customizable pita wraps, plates, salads, homemade sauces, soups, sides and loukoumades (basically Greek donuts!). I'm a big fan of their food, finding it delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Greco currently has four locations in Boston, and there are more to come.

2) On Friday, September 8, the Liberty Hotel will bring a bit of Cape Cod to Beacon Hill with a traditional New England lobster bake in the hotel’s private courtyard, The Yard. CLINK. Executive Chef Daniel Kenney has created a buffet feast with a raw bar, lobster, artisan dishes, dessert and signature cocktails to toast the end of summer. 

Menu highlights include hard shell Maine lobster, Wellfleet Harbor Oysters,clam chowder, herb roasted Gloucester swordfish, sweet corn on the cob, make-your-own strawberry shortcake, and more. The meal will be coupled with yard games, beer and wine. Tickets, available HERE for purchase, are $110 for adults (includes dinner, dessert and drink ticket) or $40 for children (includes kid’s clambake or item from CLINK’s kid’s menu).
