Over the years, Perry Eulmi and her family and staff have served literally millions of San Diegans.
Customers of Perry's Cafe — which had been slated to permanently close later this month after nearly four decades in business — who showed up Tuesday to get a final breakfast at the iconic local eatery were in for a sad surprise.
Thousands — millions? — of diners have begun their days at Perry's Cafe since it opened at 4620 Pacific Highway in Old Town back in March 1985, whether they were boothing it or getting warm-ups for their coffee at the counter.Greek immigrants Constantine"Costas" and Margaret Georgakopoulos named their 150-seat restaurant after their daughter, Perry Eulmi, who, since they retired, has been running the place.
"At this point, the applicant has three years to utilize the Neighborhood Development Permit and apply for construction permits," city spokesman Richard Berg told NBC 7 on Monday.NBC 7's Dita Quinones visited Perry's Cafe on its final Sunday of service where she spoke with its namesake owner, employees and regulars about what they'll miss most.It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that Perry's Cafe will be closing its doors permanently on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024.
The meals served after Aug. 6 will be much more intimate, dished up in one of the 223 apartments being built in a seven-story building by Viewpoint Development. Many of those homes will be set aside for those with moderate incomes or very-low incomes ,. Parking is part of the design of the structure, with two floors above ground set aside for that use and a third, underground level as well.
