Constantine Stavropoulis '82 Helps D.C. Area Residents Find Their "Third Place"
Constantine Stavropoulos ’82 is the forerunner in creating “The Third Place” in the DC Metro area. What is a “Third Place”? It is a concept based on the premise that you spend the majority of your existence at your home, your office, and a third place that helps balance your life; a place that brings people within a community together, without it, their paths may never cross. In 1998 Constantine created Tryst, a coffeehouse-bar-lounge, in Adams Morgan and soon followed with The Diner, open 24 hours and includes a full bar, situated a few doors down the street.

Tryst and The Diner have become staples within the Adams Morgan community, and so has Constantine. As leader of the Adams Morgan business association, Constantine was described by D.C. Councilman Jim Graham D-Ward 1 as “a businessperson with a conscience. He cares about the general good and he has been really selfless in terms of his leadership of the Adams Morgan business association.” Additionally, Constantine has taken a leadership role in organizing a business improvement district for the Adams Morgan businesses.
