Saint Sophia's Greek fest is a blast. Took the whole monkey family there last year and had a ball. Made a spectacle of ourselves on the spit roasted lamb, souvlaki, Greek beer, and a rogues gallery of pastries in the church basement. Parking can be a pain in the ass, so get there early. And the vendors are really cool. Baby Monkey got tons of free loot, including a blue glass amulet to ward off the evil eye.

thanks for letting us know about these festivals. i live about 3 blocks from where the Taste of Arlington will be, and now i know not to try and move my car. parking in the neighborhood is a bitch to start with. i hope the patrons are smart and either park in the mall (cheaper than a ticket!) or just take metro.

i am from richmond, va, where the original sticky rice is, and just a warning: their sushi is not very good. actually, their food in general is not very good, but it is a very popular bar in richmond where all the tattooed kids hang out. their tater tots and tot sauce, however, were always very good. so if you go, i suggest you go for drinks and tots.
