Renewal of the Byzantion Cafe
Saloniki-Greek Press, Aug. 14, 1929
The Byzantion, that outstanding and famous coffee-house, the common resort of Chicago's Greek visitors and residents, has become unrecognizable. Its proprietor, Nikolaos Elliopoulas, in his zeal to have the Byzantion keep the place of honor it has held among other coffee-houses, has had it completely remodeled so as to represent a typical Athenian cafe. The work was so well done that many men commented on the fact that it resembled the true coffee-houses of Athens.
