Occasionally we’ve performed at Ya Mas, a Greek restaurant in a mall in New Hampshire, which was internet-famous for their over-the-top holiday decor.

We learned just the other day that, after celebrating their sixth anniversary last month, they closed. I’ll miss them. I understand why they chose to close and I’m very sorry we couldn’t have had one last meal there.

One of the best parts of performing was that after we loaded out the gear, we’d have a late dinner. Everyone would swoon over the moussaka. I would say “will strip for spanakopita”.
The last time we performed there, Scratch told the kitchen “just make us what you’d serve the staff”, which turned out to be this:
I hope this gives you some idea of the restaurant’s quirky charm.
