Thursday Morning: Greek Lady ordered to close

Thursday, October 17

Good morning, Penn.

Today is Get Smart About Credit Day, and also National Pay Back a Friend Day — meaning today's the day to get your act together.

A Penn student won "Jeopardy!" two nights in a row, and Huntsman Hall is boasting a brand-new lounge near its Locust Walk entrance.

But first, Greek Lady is shutting down for an indeterminate amount of time due to several health code violations.

Greek Lady shut down for health code violations

Greek Lady — a mainstay of Penn's food scene — was shut down due to several health code violations, according to a sign posted on its door on Wednesday.

The restaurant faces five repeat violations — including lack of proper sanitation and date-marking of food — and 14 first-time violations. The report also says the establishment does not have a valid food license.

It is unclear when Greek Lady will reopen, but the notice on the door says it will remain closed for two days.
