Spyros Bazanos
Spyros Bazanos was a pioneering Greek immigrant who opened one of the first diners in New York City, the 'Peloponnese,' in 1857. His establishment marked the beginning of the significant presence of Greek cuisine in the American dining scene, particularly in New York. Over the years, Greek diners became a cultural staple in the city, known for their 24-hour service and diverse menus. Bazanos' contribution laid the foundation for future generations of Greek restaurateurs, helping to shape the culinary landscape of New York. However, in recent times, the diner concept has faced challenges, with many historic diners closing their doors, reflecting the changing dynamics of the restaurant industry.
