Greek Street Meat

D

It looks like Carnegie John is still MIA and Tony Dragonas is a bit far for me. Does anyone know of a greek street meat spot where I can get my fix. Please no middle eastern carts the smell makes me sick.

    Good question. Dont think there is though.

    The Dragon is a good alternative to Carnegie John's if you have a long lunch break. However, there is Uncle Gussy's on 51 & Park.

    D, I would go with Kwikmeal...it's not quite "greek" but it's definitely not your standard halal cart. They use real lamb, real tzatziki etc. 45th and 6th.

    Thanks everyone I just bit the bullet and trained it to the Dragon. Where the F is Carnegie John?

    Who cares? And is CJ really Greek?

    I agree that Kwik Meal would be a better option.

  6. Wellerfan

    yes, I always hear him speak Greek.

    D requested no middle eastern spices though so Kwik Meal is probably out despite the delicious yogurt-based white sauce similar to tzatziki. But definitely a good option for street meats if you're more open to trying Halal.

    I never found Kwik to be heavy on the "middle eastern" spices---I found it the closest to Greekish of all the carts--as that is what I prefer as well.

    Yea, it's more indian actually - with their basmati rice and spicy green sauce (raita).

    There's a Greek guy on the NE corner of Park and 52'nd or 53rd. You can tell he's Greek by looking at the cart.

    I will have to go check that out. Thanks harry!

    Harry, are you talking about Uncle Gussy's or is this another cart?

  13. Hey! There's RudyMcBagelSteveP, keeping it real.

    I'd say enough people care to keep bringing it up as a topic. But that doesn't seem to matter, does it, big guy?

    And funny: Only one meatstick keeps using every related thread for a negative posting about this one vendor. Which crotchety, lonely, food blog obsessed whiner is that?
