The iconic blue and white Greek "Anthora" coffee cup, a staple in New York City diners since the 1960s, is becoming a rare find. Designed by Leslie Buck, a non-Greek immigrant, the cup quickly became a symbol of NYC's Greek diner culture, which dominated the market. However, due to several factors, including the rising cost of the original cup from its manufacturer, Dart/Solo, the proliferation of cheaper knock-off alternatives, and the increasing popularity of coffee shop chains, the Anthora cup slowly faded from widespread use. NY1's Roger Clark embarks on a quest to uncover the reasons behind its quiet disappearance and finds a community of New Yorkers, including diner owners like Kalerges Dellaportas of Bel Aire Diner and distributors like Sung Shin of Lucky Supply, along with online retailers like NYC Coffee Cup, who are passionate about preserving its legacy and bringing it back to prominence as a beloved New York icon.
