Fans of Samos, considered by many to be the top Greek restaurant in Baltimore, will be delighted to know that it's probably expanding into its second floor. I got the first hint of this from Jill Rosen, another Sun reporter who actually works for a living. (You call this work?)

She sent me this e-mail (thanks, Jill):

I got that from the zoning board agenda. They had applied for a permit to expand from first-floor only to second floor as well. I checked the address and it was Samos.

I wanted to check it out for myself, but Samos' phone remained busy for two solid days, no matter when I called. To remain anonymous, I can't check out restaurant news in person, so I called on my neighbor, native of Greece, and hairdresser extraordinaire Tom Mavrellos, who said the owner takes the phone off the hook when he gets busy, which as far as I can tell is always.

Tom promised to stop in to see what was going on. He reported back that "Nick" (owner and chef Nicholas Georgalas) doesn't want to talk about the expansion because it could be months before anything happens.

That's all I know. If you know more, please post below.
