Description: Daphne Pappaioanou was raised in a small town in Greece called Krinides, Kavala. Daphne moved to the United States in 1982, when she was 20 years old. She has lived in Astoria, Queens ever since. She supported herself and her daughter, Agnes, as a waitress in Greek restaurants. Daphne describes Greek foods, important personal memories, traditions and holidays that keep her Greek heritage alive in the United States.
