Olympia Cafe - Albuquerque, NM

For culinary diversity, it's hard to beat the University of New Mexico (UNM) area in which restaurants with a broad socioeconomic appeal are congregated. Aside from academic enrichment, this area is nurturing a refreshing open-mindedness toward the cuisines of the world.

I dare say that for many UNM students, especially those from rural areas, their first tastes of Greek cuisine occurred at the Olympia Cafe on Central Avenue. The Olympia Cafe is a venerable elder statesman among UNM area restaurants, launching in 1972. That's when Spiros and Marina Counelis began serving Greek cuisine directly across the street from New Mexico's largest university. (from http://olympiacafeabq.com)
