Hi all! It's a beautiful day on a three-day weekend-- what else can you feel but happy to be alive??

Hope everyone is finding happiness on this delightful weekend.

I'm happy to finally get rid of my SAD.

I like to read your restaurant reviews. I also realized that you tend to always order papaya salad or just a salad (with some cheese) for dinner. Since there's not much protein in your dish, does it fill you up? That's another reason why it's sometimes difficult to dine out as a vegetarian. Do you have any favorite Greek restaurants in the city? have you tried Kefi? I'm too afraid to go because of the crowd.

Hi Gar,

Usually my selections do fill me up-- I'm not much of a huge protein person, so I'd rather have a less-filling entree and leave room for dessert! But I rarely leave a restaurant still genuinely hungry.

I did try to go to Kefi once-- but it was highly unsuccessful: http://lifewithfoodanddrink.blogspot.com/2009/01/screw-you-kefi-neighborhood-relief-at.html. I haven't tried to go again since. My favorite Greek place in the city is definitely Pera Mediterranean Brasserie. It's a bit too expensive for everyday dining, but it's very yummy and definitely great for a special occasion or a big group: http://lifewithfoodanddrink.blogspot.com/search/label/Pera%20Mediterranean%20Brasserie.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
