In 2018, Orthodox Easter fell on April 8th, a little earlier than usual but the good news was that we got to celebrate Tsiknopempti (Burnt Thursday) with an array of roasted/grilled meats.

What a blast we had last Thursday at Paintbox Bistro for 2018 Kalofagas Tsiknopempti! Greek Supper Club!

Thank you to Nisos Importing and Greek wines selected and poured by Kolonaki Group.
