Erie Restaurants- Panos New York Lunch- Perry Square

Does anyone remember stopping at Panos' New York Lunch in Perry Square after getting off a bus at the nearby Greyhound station? The building was for rent when this photo was taken by Chester Wasielewski. This location of Panos' NY Lunch sold products by Meadow Brook Dairy. The New York Lunch sign on this building was painted over the sign of the previous tenant, Born's Dairy.

New York Lunch was a hot spot amongst workers at the Public Library, the Courthouse and City Hall who were looking for a quick, cheap meal and good conversation.

The donut shop on the right sold products by Sanida Dairy.

  2. Lol...Oh My Goodness!! My Mom worked at the Born's Dairy on 24th street just 1 block from State. Then she was moved to this Dairy Bar and I went to work there in the summer. I think it was 58/59. What memories!! I so remember dipping ice cream right in front of those windows. They served egg salad and tuna Salad also. I love these old photos. Thank you so much.
