THE SENATOR RESTAURANT
1890-PRESENT
The original house that was built in the late 1800's at 249 Victoria Street became the location of the Senator... Robert Angeloff, a Macedonian entrepreneur converted the old house... naming it the Busy Bee Diner. George Nicolau renovated the Busy Bee, re-opening and naming it the Senator (in 1948)... it was rightfully purchased in 1964 by George's heirs, his son Nick Nicolau and newphew Cecil Djambazis. With Nick quietly toiling in the kitchen and Cecil cajoling with the customers, the Senator became a downtown landmark, earning accolades for the `best egg sandwich in town' and coffee to go from the three famous urns still in our front window.
