Anniversary Dinner!

#11: Try a new restaurant every month

What better reason to try a new restaurant than an Anniversary! Yesterday marked 7 (yes SEVEN) years since the day Justin and I first met. Yes, that's right. We met at a frat party. (Less sketchy is the fact that my best friend at the time was J's frat brother and Justin just moved in to the room next door to him). So 7 years later, we celebrated with an insanely delicious dinner at Pylos in the east village.

Where we sat:


We started out with some really delish greek wine which was a sweet dry wine. We ordered Pitakia Kaisarias (savory phyllo pastries filled with the spiced, cured beef pasturma, fresh tomatoes and mild kasseri cheese) and eggplant and zucchini chips with tzatziki, then I had the Moussaka and Justin had a really amazing chicken dish (organic boned chicken farci with raisins, rosemary, thyme and greek kasseri cheese, served with zucchini, eggplant, and potato). For dessert we did more phyllo dough stuffed with custard and topped with the most amazing honey. Wonderful meal, loved the restaurant, and definitely want to go back!
