A Taste of Afghanistan!

A Taste of Afghanistan!


Come join us for a taste of Afghani cuisine at Ariana in Allston! Ariana is operated by an Afghani couple who opened the restaurant less than one year ago. The husband serves as the chef, while the wife manages the restaurant.  The restaurant serves delicious traditional food, has a warm, ambient atmosphere and provides excellent service. It is a great find for Boston area! Since it’s opening, the restaurant has been receiving rave reviews and has a 4.5 star rating on Yelp.


Where: Ariana, 129 Brighton Ave, Allston, MA 02134
Why: To help commemorate 50 years of Peace Corps

Speed Networking Event Creates New Connections

Boston Area RPCVs came together for an evening of sharing, learning and making great connections.  Like-minded individuals working in health, education, business, policy, the environment and much more gathered to network at Lir Restaurant in Boston.  In a format similar to speed dating, RPCVs pitched themselves, met new people, and forged important contacts with like-minded RPCVs in the Boston area.  Click here to see photos from the event.
