Not trying to go totally off-topic, but Orthodox church festivals in general are a chance to eat some high-quality ethnic cuisine for a reasonable price, take a dip into that culture with music/dance/arts/books, and rest assured that your modest expense is going to good causes. The best ethnic Egyptian food I've had lately was at the St Abanoub Coptic Orthodox church festival in Springfield a month ago. The St Aphraim Syriac Orthodox church festival in May had some excellent Syrian food. St George Antiochan Orthodox church downtown has wonderful Syrian food too. When you go behind-the-scenes and see all the moms and grandmoms show up a few days prior, and start rolling grape leaves in the kitchen, you know you're in for the real deal. (With that, I'm sure Don will begin a new topic on Orthodox church festivals.)

Nourish Thai is the sort of handsome neighborhood restaurant that that everyone hopes to live near. Low key for midweek dinner but attractive enough, with wood tables and exposed brick and ferns, lots of ferns, to take guests on the weekend. With reasonable prices and solid Thai cooking to boot. Although we didn't dive into the Secret Grandma Recipe section of the menu, don't expect to find the funk and heat of new breed Thai restaurants (think Baan Thai or Little Serow). Nourish is serving up the classics but a cut or two above your average "Americanized" Thai joint. If we lived in Prospect Heights, I feel like Nourish would easily be on the rotation.
