Girls' Night Out: The Greek Isles

The Mediterranean tradition of sharing small plates of colorful, flavorful food over great conversation and a spirited libation is one of the hottest dining trends in America. In Spain, these little snacks are known as tapas, while in Greece, these bite-size treats are known as meze. From little plates of olives to miniature meatballs, meze are fun, robustly flavored tidbits typically enjoyed with ouzo, the classic Greek apéritif. Travel with your girlfriends to the "Greek isles" for an evening of… Show more laughing, learning and lingering over our masterful meze menu. Opa!
