mayfair2009In 2006, the Mayfair Diner landed in the hands of Michael Petrogiannis after eighty years of ownership by the Mulholland family. As a result, the long-​running relationship with its surrounding community that the family built on a tradition of quality and integrity suddenly came to a close. A visit there about a year later found the once-​lively diner smelling of death and ineptitude. This new roof literally caps off the sad demise of a once-​great institution.
