In the summer of 1997, I received a letter from Syracuse that contained the name of a girl from Queens, NY, who’d been selected as my freshman roommate. Who knew that all these years later, we’d still be great friends. Or that she and her husband would become Tim’s and my favorite dinner companions.

Jen, a restaurant publicist, and Eli, a photo retoucher/art professor/blogger, live in Brooklyn. After their Westhampton Beach, NY, wedding The Neugeborens spent an amazing honeymoon exploring Greece. Jen describes their trip as delicious, awe-inspiring, and “the perfect decompression from wedding stress.”

Neither of them had been to Greece and it was one of the first places they discussed going. They briefly considered Mexico, but with hurricane season in September they didn’t want to take any chances. She says, “We didn’t think Greece was a place we’d get to any time soon if we didn’t go on our honeymoon!”

These two are big foodies. Serious foodies. They Twitter about every restaurant they try. So food played a huge part in their trip. Whether it was wine, cheese and olives on the hotel balcony at sunset, or dinner at a fabulous restaurant, they ate their way through the Greek Islands.

This week we’ll vicariously travel along with them as they visit Athens and the islands of Crete, Santorini and Naxos. Get your napkins ready… it’s going to be a tasty week!
