Romance in Astoria
Ben and I had a lovely Valentine’s Day right in Astoria. We decided to go out to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner: Mezzo Mezzo. It’s a tasty, slightly pricey Greek place not far from the subway.
While the weather was pretty brutal on Wednesday, it was warm and cozy inside the restaurant. Mezzo mezzo has a bit of an odd decor with carved wood and almost a cabin lodge feel. A contrast to the Mediterranean menu.
We sat upstairs, which is normally quieter, with a nice view of the street. There’s a fake fireplace, which still adds to the warm atmosphere despite the slight cheesiness. We ordered a selection of appetizers, as usual. Haloumi (grilled goat cheese), of course, Greek salad, a selection of dips and spreads, and sausage for Ben.
The food was delicious, as were the two glasses of Savignon Blanc I drank. All in all, a romantic Valentine’s Day.
