Hi, there. The details I found here are very useful to me. My husband and I are moving to NY and we’d love it if we have an authentic Greek place. Thankssss

Small portion, big on price.

Thanks for taking a look at these places. I have to check them out. I loved working on 7th Ave. because I could hit the 9th Ave. lunch spots. They are close enough to walk to if you work on 7th or Broadway.

The closest thing I have tasted to Gyros in Greece is the Shawarma at Mamouns. It’s very very close. But they use the meat in a mid-east presentation (Shawarma) instead of greek (onions, fries, tzatziki).

Uncle Nick’s also has wonderful outdoor seating out back – not sure if they close it for the winter, but since it’s warming up, it should be open!

The flaming saganaki at Uncle Nick’s (ouzaria) is stunning. And better yet, don’t warn your dining companions and let them be startled by the waiter setting fire so close to their faces.

For that alone you should be neutered.

I strongly disagree with Rudy….
Jill should be spayed.

Lighten up, Rudy!

Is Rudy referring by chance to the Colonial War, ie the one where the British got their asses handed to them by us?

That looks like a fun little field trip… hmmm from the eastside, taking the E west to 50th/8th Ave stop.. could it be done within the lunch hour?? ;> Frankly, i don’t even see the challenge in this.. i’m so there!

I was once told by a fat, drunk Greek gryo salesman on Mykonos that real greek gyro should only be pork, and that anything else is a Turkish corruption. Then he barked for his wife and daughter to scrub the windows better and offered us more of his family’s wine.
