Cyprus Taverna in Greektown closing

[R8RBOB]

Where do you see Greektown 7 years from now? By Greektown, I mean the district.

I can answer that. In seven years, Greektown will be Greektown in name only. In the beginning of the story, one of the twins who own Mosaic pointed out that the area is getting younger, hipper and more modern.

The disappearing of Greektown reminds me of the last episode of the Sopranos, Made in America when the tour bus was going through Little Italy and the guide was explaining how vast Little Italy was and somehow it shrank to a few blocks. The scene showed Phil Leotardo's crew walking in Little Italy but ended up in Chinatown

Little Italy [[Manhattan) is a pretty good analogy to Greektown. But even with what Little Italy has been reduced to, they've managed to keep the restaurants Italian. You'd never see a Five Guys in Little Italy......

True that, but the reason why you have a Five Guys in Greektown is because of the casino. Sadly, I'm just waiting for the news that Golden Fleece is closing its doors. That location was great at 2AM when the bars were closing and you could get a Gyro and fries.

I remember that same scene from the Sopranos, it went by pretty quick, maybe a 1 minute scene, but it had a lot of symbolism behind it.

In seven years, I hate to say that there would be no Greek restaurants left, but the way that it is evolving, it very well looks like that may be the truth. Could you really even call the Greektown Casino the "Greektown" Casino if there where no Greek restaurants or influences left in Greektown?

If any Greek restaurant can hold on the longest I hope it is Golden Fleece, they are really the most "authentic" place in Greektown now. The New Parthenon is still pretty good as well.

***What do you guys think will be the future for Cyprus Taverna and the New Hellas demolished site?

This may sound far- fetched, maybe they'll put a Coyote Ugly Saloon there.
