Towne Restaurant in Allentown Closed for Good on August 1, 2023.Eleni Konstantopulous, daughter of the late co-founder George Scouras, apologizes to staff for “the sudden closure of the restaurant” on Monday.
This is sad because several years ago Panos–who always had lines to get in was bought by Mark Chason who ran it into the ground with a cold interior, increased prices and food that is not as good. Hence, it closed down- blaming it on the pandemic when it was incredibly bad management.Chason Development also owns the building next to Panos “Eleven Eleven Elmwood,” a brand-new luxury condominium building with dozens of units for sale. Birtch says several are under contract but there are many more that haven’t sold yet, “There are 41 to sell and there are eight to 10 under contract. We would love to give anybody a tour who’s interested in living there.” Let’s just say Chason Development has challenges.
That leaves in the Elmwood Area Mythos at 510 Elmwood. And, we love the chicken souvlaki at Altons.
