SYMEON'S RESTAURANT

The Mohawk Valley got its first taste of authentic Greek cuisine in 1973 when the doors to Symeon's Greek Restaurant were opened. Symeon Tsoupelis and his wife, Ann, were the very first to establish a restaurant on Oneida Street in the city of Utica, near the Parkway intersection. The building could only seat around twenty guests! While Symeon operated the restaurant, Ann was busy at home crafting all the desserts and being a full-time mother to two young children.
