Celebrate Greek heritage with traditional food, dance and fun. Activities take place all day on August 9th and 10th at the Long Grove Café near the Mill Pond, on Robert Parker Coffin Road. Hours are 11 AM to 8 PM. Admission and parking are free.

For the fourth year, Bill Hristakos, owner of the Long Grove Café, will host this special addition to the historic business district’s calendar of events as a tribute to his Greek heritage. All activities will take place by the restaurant, located within the Mill Pond cluster of shops (location 11 on the village map).

Outdoor booths beside the pond adjacent to the restaurant will serve an array of Greek foods such as rotisserie lamb, shish-kabob, gyros, and spinach pie. Classic desserts such as baklava, and galaktoboureko, a creamy custard in phyllo dough, will also be available. The restaurant, with its expansive outdoor patio, will offer its regular lunch and dinner menu, along with specialties like saganaki.

Long Grove, home to over 80 specialty shops, is located on Old McHenry Road, 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Routes 53 & 83. Sponsored by the Long Grove Café. For more information, call (847) 634-0888.
