My quest to find a real gyro sandwich in Midtown never takes a vacation. So when I spotted this sign on 34th btw. 8+9th in the window of Lezzette, my curiosity was piqued.  Sure, it&#8217;s out of the technical Midtown Lunch boundaries.  And Lezzette looks more like a generic Midtown deli, than an [...]]]></description>

When yesterday&#8217;s post about the newly opened Meze Grill (on 8th btw. 55+56th) described it as a &#8220;Middle Eastern Chipotle&#8221; some commenters were quick to point that most authentic falafel and shawarma stands (here and abroad) operate in much the same way a Chipotle does.  That is, &#8220;you pick Pita or Laffa, choose protein, and [...]]]></description>

Man, I was really in the mood for street meat yesterday&#8230; and can&#8217;t for the life of me figure out why.  (Oh, that&#8217;s right.)  I decided to hit up the Famous Halal Cart on the SE Corner of 53rd and 6th to try their kofta kebab (which we reported about a few months back.)  Probably [...]]]></description>

I suppose the two aren&#8217;t mutually exclusive, but the premise of the argument was chicken vs. veal/pork.  Sadly I have to go against my people on this one, and agree that wiener schnitzel is [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s never a shock when a bad restaurant resorts to something crazy to help boost business.  You&#8217;ll see name changes, expensive redecorating, crazy specials, and yes, even sushi being added to a Kosher falafel and kebab place.  But Olympic Pita (on 38th btw. 5+6th) was not a bad restaurant!  Home to my favorite falafel in [...]]]></description>

A new little kosher falafel &#38; sandwich nook has popped up on 37th Street btw. 5+6th.  The owner used to have a small restaurant in Brooklyn, until his customers encouraged him to move to Midtown.  With Olympic Pita (on 38th btw. 5+6th) and Crisp (on 40th btw.

Well that answers that question.  Pick A Pita, a tiny but righteous falafel and shawarma spot on 38th btw. 7+8th, will be opening a second outpost in the now closed House of Pita space on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th.  The tiny closet they currently operate will remain open, meaning you will now have two Pick-a-Pita options right [...]]]></description>
