It’s All Greek To You

Find Greek Food In: Tarpon Springs, Florida

Located just 20 minutes north of Clearwater, the historic riverfront town of Tarpon Springs has transported visitors thousands of miles away to a coastal village in Greece for decades. Greek sponge divers arrived in the city in the early 1900s and Greek heritage is still strong in the area. If you’re searching for authentic Greek food, you’ve landed in the right place.

Like other Mediterranean cuisine, Greek food is rich in extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and fresh vegetables, plus it’s colorful and nutritious. Mezze, or small dishes, frequently help make up the main meal served with salads, dips, and pita bread.

Stroll along Dodecanese Boulevard to see the docked sponge boats and take your pick of more than 15 restaurants, several of which are internationally known. Hellas, Mama’s Greek Cuisine, and Mr. Souvlaki are a few of the city’s best-known, and most traditional Greek restaurants serve up tasty dishes like stuffed grape leaves, gyros, Greek salads, and baklava.

Fall In Amor With Brazil Cuisine

Find Brazilian Food In: Framingham, Massachusetts

Located between Boston and Worcester, Framingham, Massachusetts, is home to one of the largest Brazilian populations in the United States.

Many dishes use rice or beans as a base ingredient, and common meats include beef, pork, and different kinds of seafood and fish. In the area, check out Terra Brasilis Restaurant or Framingham Station Brazilian Steakhouse.

Breakfast is often fruit-based, so incorporating superfood açai in a smoothie bowl is the perfect way to start the day. In general, lunch is the largest and most filling meal of the day. Feijoada, a bean stew typically made from black beans cooked slowly with pork or beef, is largely recognized as the national dish. Pão de Queijo, a delicious cheese bread, is perfect to split as an appetizer.

If you have a sweet tooth, you are in luck with plenty of tasty options. Brigadeiros are chocolate truffles popular at parties. Beijinho de Coco, or little kiss of coconut in Portuguese, is made with condensed milk and butter rolled in coconut flakes.
