Great Greek Festival every year the weekend(Friday,Saturday,& Sunday) before Father's day…read more The festival has vendors galore, music, raffles, rides, and most important the food. Mousaka, Pastichio, Tyropita, Spanakopita, Souvlaki, and of course the famous Gyro sandwich. All delicious and freshly made by the best in the business. The dessert's are to die for, my favorite is the Galaktoboureko(custard wrapped in phyllo pastry with an orange essence). Of course there is Baklava, Loukoumades( think of these as Italian Zeppoles), and many others. Parking is at CW Post University and a bus shuttles you back and forth or you may want to walk after eating such great food. Don't forget to visit the vendor's they have many treasures.

But where are all the yia yias?!…read more I usually go to two different Greek Festivals on the Island. One is in West Hempstead, the other is in Hicksville. We just recently heard of this one and decided to give it a go. While easy to get to, the parking is technically over at CW Post. It's only a 5-10 minute walk to the church grounds and there is a shuttle if you're lazy. This festival is much smaller than the others. The food is laid out by what exactly you're getting (one line for salad, another for gyros, etc.). The prices are also a bit steep considering the food just isn't good. The gyro meat was not sliced correctly. The pita was the pita I could buy in Stop & Shop if I was REALLY craving it. The tyropita and spanikopita were both cooked as squares, rather than triangles, which was odd to me. The salad looked okay but lacking. They also have the church basement converted into "Yia Yia's Attic", this is where you can find flea market items and such. I didn't find anything too spectacular. All of the staff weren't Greek either, which was strange considering most of these festivals volunteer church goers to work the weekend. Attached to the basement is a cafe, where they serve some pastries, frappes, and Greek coffee. I passed on the frappe but tried the revani (it was good but the edges were completely burned). They also didn't know what I was asking for when I said it in Greek. This is very kid-friendly and they have a bunch of rides and games setup at the top of the hill. There are a few kiosks with knick knacks and a ring toss. Also a beverage stand where you can get beer, water, and wine. Overall, the prices were a bit extreme for something so boring. No opa here.

This is my favorite Long Island Greek Orthodox Cathedral for many reasons. From what I read; the…read moregroundbreaking ceremony took place in the summer of 1957. In 1974, the church paid off its mortgage, which was incredible. St. Paul's also had added a parcel of land that provides access to the church from Hilton Avenue. In addition, the corner house on Cathedral Avenue was bought and is presently for educational purposes. The church architecture and altar are beautifully designed. St Pauls has a brilliant sound when the choir sings. A few years ago, many visited the church to be blessed by the crying Virgina Mary Icon. I was one of the individuals who stood online. First, an icon of the Virgin Mary, shed tears, then the icon of St Nicolas soon after. This is the first time this St. Nicholas Icon has begun to cry. Christos Anesti! Happy Easter to the Greek Community.

As the ONLY one dressed in Greek theme. I definitely stole the show. Large crowd but not over packed. Amazing music, retails areas, delicious food, games and rides(for kids).

The room where the services was held is beautiful! High ceilings, lots of light and most importantly, actual seats. Not a bench. A seat. Seats = about 10 min of extra ceremony I can tolerate. The cocktail hour room was large and had a long bar. Staff was quick on the pour and people could fit comfortably enough to eat little bites in one hand and get sloshed with the other. The star knock is only bc the food wasn't great. It was good, especially for a large wedding, but not great. The ballroom was large as well and had a stage for the band, allowing us drinkers to rock out and listen to speeches while keeping my arse in my seat (sitting and drinking seems to have been the theme of this jam). The lighting of the room was excellent and really made the place feel classy. Kudos, TBT. Bottom line, if you get invited to an affair here, go. It's worth the price of admission.

There is dining inside the church which there is a line and a menu of the options. Plenty of other food options outside to choose from as if one was a carnival or street fair. Desserts and drinks too so make sure to look around. Chicken nuggets were ok, fries were eh. Zeppoles were good and best when eaten fresh. There are also trinkets, jewelry, etc for purchase as well. It does get a bit crowded. There are carnival games to play and prizes to win...though not easy. I've played a few times in past years and only one once or twice so not for me. So spend wisely...though it is a fundraiser. Fun watching others play and cheering them on. Parking in the area may be limited - you may have to go a few blocks further and walk. Have fun and be respectful to everyone there.
