Christina,
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything going on at the Lebanese Church, will you let us know, please? There food is da' bomb!!!
Yes, I promise if there is anything in the way of public events going on at Our Lady of Lebanon, I will post it. From what I understand at this point, the next event is their annual heritage festival in August though.
DeleteHowever, have you ever been to the Mediterranean Deli on Sullivan Trail in Forks? The owners are church members, and their menu has a lot of the food served at the August festival on the list.
Also, Daddy's Place is likely to open in the West Ward on Northampton Street some time this summer--the owners there are also church members, and they're planning a bunch of Lebanese food on the menu.
