The Olympia Restaurant is an eatery located in the Bronx. [1]

History[]

Lacking three Ghostbusters to deal with the three Class Fives haunting the restaurant, Janine Melnitz was forced to put the case on the back burner. When Special Agent Melanie Ortiz was in town between FBI investigations, she had to go back on a promise to help out due to a new case that came up. She wanted to borrow Egon Spengler and Kylie Griffin. Janine gave her the Olympia case to deal with as a pretext to ask Egon and Kylie for their help. The ghosts launched what appeared to be meat patties at them and dodged return fire. Egon accidentally shot the register but one of the ghosts appeared on its face and spit coins. Melanie managed to wrangle him. Once it was trapped, the other two appeared above Egon, Melanie, and Kylie.
