Andreas “Andy” Koutsoudakis lived a life surrounded by his diner’s regulars, but he died alone, in between check-ins by his nurse at Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island. He was 59. It was March 27, 2020, roughly 30,000 New York City pandemic deaths ago.
“I could have shut it down and everyone would’ve understood, but I decided to keep it going,” says Koutsoudakis’s only child, Andreas (“Andy Jr.”). With wet eyes, he sighs: “Nobody misses the old restaurant more than me, because it had my father.”
