Today Fresno's Armenian population is estimated at about 6,000 and about 10,000 for all of Fresno County (US Census 2000). A constant reminder of the Armenian people's contributions and presence in Fresno is the life-sized monument of David of Sassoon. This beautiful piece of public art was donated to the city by Armenians in 1970, and stands today on the corner of M St. and Tulare.Penny Auctions|Penny Auction Site

Fresno is not a cultural Mecca, nor is it a particularly great place to visit. Imagine my delight therefore to find this little gem. Authentic Persian/Armenian menu, good service, and good food.
