SUMMARY:The Greek Diner and the Making of American Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:In this hour-long class\, we will explore the history of the Greek diner and its profound influence on American food culture. On the eve of World War I\, Greek immigrants began buying up the diners abandoned by German Americans facing anti-German persecution brought on by the war. In these kitchens\, the new Greek owners would adapt traditional German travelers’ fare with a touch of the Mediterranean and a pinch of entrepreneurial spirit. The result: A truly American way of cooking and eating.

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club – The Greeks: A Global History
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club! \nIn November\, we will be discussing The Greeks: A Global History by Roderick Beaton\, a sweeping history of the Greeks\, from the Bronze Age to today. This title was selected by members of NHM Virtual Book Club \nBook Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CST \n  \nMore about The Greeks: A Global History: \nMore than 2\,000 years ago\, the Greek city-states\, led by Athens and Sparta\, laid the foundation for much of modern science\, the arts\, politics\, and law. But the influence of the Greeks did not end with the rise and fall of this classical civilization. As historian Roderick Beaton illustrates\, over three millennia Greek speakers produced a series of civilizations that were rooted in southeastern Europe but again and again ranged widely across the globe. \nIn The Greeks\, Beaton traces this history from the Bronze Age Mycenaeans who built powerful fortresses at home and strong trade routes abroad\, to the dramatic Eurasian conquests of Alexander the Great\, to the pious Byzantines who sought to export Christianity worldwide\, to today’s Greek diaspora\, which flourishes on five continents. The product of decades of research\, this is the story of the Greeks and their global impact told as never before.
