Baltimore Greek Week
March 24 - March 30, 2014
I don't know about you but I love Greek food. I lived in England for 5 years while I attended graduate school and in the two flats upstairs from me there were two Greek couples who shared with us all things Greek!! We were all there for school and we were all a long way from home so having friends was a great thing and I gained a new appreciation for a culture different from my own.
There are many Greek owned restaurants participating in Greek Week, they are each offering special menus and special discounts. You'll want to check with them for their specials.
