Two for the world<br />
Restaurant dining makes many cuisines available, but doesn’t tell you<br />
much about the people behind the food. The South Bay has two festivals<br />
that bring you in contact with their cuisines in a more personal way. The<br />
Be Romanian For A Day festival (Ernie Howlett Park, Rolling Hills Estates.<br />
Sat., Sun., <strong>May</strong> 26-27) and St. Katherine’s Greek Festival (St. Katherine’s<br />
Church, Redondo <strong>Beach</strong>. Fri.-Sun., July 13-15). Both feature hospitality<br />
more like what you would find in a home than a restaurant. You can meet<br />
the people, enjoy their music, learn a dance or two, and sample their culture<br />
as you enjoy their cuisine. You only get one chance a year at these, so<br />
put them on your calendar now.<br />
