The Laikon Cafe
1927-2012

Thanks again, Gianni, for posting this news. We enjoyed one last fine dinner at The Laikon Cafe this afternoon. Plus I carried out one last order of moussaka for later tonight or tomorrow.

For anyone else who wants one last Laikon experience, they will be open until their usual 3 or 4 am tonight. Then open at 11am Sunday through 3 or 4 am Monday.

Chatted with the waitress who said that the owner of The Laikon are not the owners of the building, who made the decision to sell the property to the Greektown Casino. So it is being torn down for a walkway between the parking behind Monroe Street and the Casino entrance on Monroe.

The Laikon owner is interested in opening a restaurant elsewhere in Greektown if possible. No idea whether it would be The Laikon relocated or a completely new restaurant.

So long, old friend!! We had many memorable times with family and friends at the Laikon for more than 40 years.
