Hope everyone had a good summer. NIA VARDALOS, star and writer of
"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was in Brooklyn over the summer shooting a new movie -
"I Hate Valentines Day". On location on 5th avenue in Park Slope, near where my
Father's Florist stood for 70 years - Daniels Florist ( and is now called Blooms)- I met her said "yiasou" and spoke in Greek. She was very friendly and introduced me to her sister who was on the set. She is tall and beautiful and very warm.
