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.

I'm writing a book about milk bottles and dairies of Erie County, PA. I came across a photo which was taken in front of the plant at 2365 Buffalo Road in Erie. 

Please leave a comment if you can identify anyone in the photo. The nuns might be Sisters of Mercy order. Thanks!
