This past weekend the hubby and I had a little snowy getaway to the Berkshires in Massachusetts – such cute towns in a beautiful natural setting with friendly people. It was an appreciated respite away from Manhattan!
There is a great restaurant scene in the area, especially Great Barrington and Lenox. We had a delish dinner at Bistro Zinc in Lenox – crispy goat cheese salad, vegetable crepes with a balsamic reduction and braised short ribs with homemade pappardelle. Mmm, mmm. Unfortunately I forgot my camera that night so I can’t share the dishes with you, but definitely head over if you happen to be in the area.
Of course we sought out the only Greek spot in the area – the fabulous rustic restaurant Aegean Breeze. The food was perfect homemade, yia-yia cooking in the kitchen fare, only better! I definitely recommend this place for a little Greek fix. At the last moment I did remember to take a pic of dessert: galactoboureko (sweet milk pie).
This is my favorite dessert and having tried it in many NYC Greek restaurants I have to say this is the best I’ve had! They nailed the sweet silky custard consistency and flaky phyllo dough covered in syrup. Luckily I was able to convince Chris to be patient while I took my photo! I think I’ll be making my own version soon and will share the recipe.
