Four of us went to the Sunday service at the Serbian Orthodox Church yesterday, just before noon. M. had a hell finding a parking spot, because of a parade. We suspect it was one of the ways New Yorkers celebrate the Veterans' day.
The church was packed. I'm not sure if it had to do with the lunch afterwords or because a Serbian folk singer was visiting and performing after lunch. Probably both. This lunch was average and its cost was $10 per person, without drinks or dessert. But the money goes to the church, which makes it sort of a donation. The lunch itself could've been richer. It was definitely Serbian in New York way-Serbian lunches in Serbia proper are much bigger with many, many more choices. And free;-)
But the church can use that money, so I'm glad we helped and not quite starved. Not quite.
The setting was like a small, traditional Serbian restaurant in a rural Serbia-crowded, mostly mid aged and older people, eating mostly meat, and talking loudly. The room itself is very modest and there are Serbian paintings and pictures of the famous Serbian people on the walls.
We didn't stay long. It was way too crowded and we are not big fans of Lepa Lukic(the singer).We did see her with the priest on our way out.But we already gave our contribution.
