I don't know the name of it, but I like how everything is made to order and the kitchen side of the cart faces the customer (on the same side that you order from) so you can watch the cook work the magic. It is run by a nice man about 40ish and his wife. The food is delicious and the gyro is 4 dollars. For lamb. It really is a great deal. the platters are just a dollar more. Most surprisingly, I've never felt sick/too full/regretful after eating this cart's food. oh yeah, and if you’re into gyros, kabobs, lamb and chicken platters etc, go to the cart on 45th and 6th, right outside the Pink store and near the National Debt Clock.

Now I work with him here in Metlife (thanks steve for setting that up) and I have to say I look forward to lunch because of his expertise. We do have carts that we frequent, but pretty often he will mention a new place and he has a great track record with choosing the good places and settling any suspicions I might have had on the walk. As for the other metlifer making comments here, keep in mind that these places are not that far. It does not take a 15 block walk to find delicious foods at great prices. We usually eat in GCT food court with food we buy around midtown. We're back to the building with plenty of time to eat slowly. And if two dudes fresh out of 4 straight years of living in New Orleans - with weather that never fell below 40 degrees at the worst of times, and with 8 solid months of summer - can make the chilly walk to ensure we get the feeling that our lunch was worth the price and the duration of our lunch hour, then so should you my friend! I really feel better about chowing down after a good Manhattan-speed power walk. Steve, kudos on the great profile. I wish I had planned better, I'd be at Jazzfest too.

Half sours are the ONLY Pickle worth eating. The "fresh cucumber" crunch is as important to the pickle experience as are the subtle flavors the pickle picks up in the pickling process.

Steve did not mention one place in Midtown not described on this site - way to rehash what is available on the website. And how can anyone be against half sour pickles? If they're done right they still retain the smell and consistency of a fresh cucumber with hints of garlic and salty deliciousness. BORING!!!

It constantly blows my mind! Plus they are all hip young ladies who live in Brooklyn, but given a choice where would the eat lunch? Subway, Burger King, Cosi if they're feeling fancing. About the closest we can come to making each other happy is ordering from Guy and Gallard, and that's just wrong. Also they have stopped asking me where to eat b/c I'm always like "oh I read about this awesome Peruvian Chicken place that is totally cheap!" and that is not a satisfactory answer.
