It is the most wonderful time of the year in Pittsburgh, and I am talking about more than the weather. It is time for the annual Saint Nicholas Greek Food Festival of deliciousness. I heart ethnic food festivals as much as I heart PGH. These food festivals are the big part of what make Pittsburgh great – people volunteering their time, to benefit their communities and to serve really great food.

St. Nicks is probably the biggest and tastiest of the food festivals in the area. There is often a line, but it is worth the wait. There is seating in the very large gymnasium and under the tent outside which is right on Forbes Avenue, just across from the Carnegie Museum of Art.

As if the food was not reason enoug to attend, you could run into your favorite Steeler.  From The Burgh Blog -Troy Palamalu attended the Greek Food Festival last year.

The Festival runs Sunday May 4 to May 9, 2008. More details, a menu and pick up order form are available here.
