Lamb Gyro / Chicken Gyro Cart

Nothing makes me more nostalgic for New York City than the idea of these street cart chicken gyros. This was honestly my favourite thing I ate in New York. Please do yourself a favour and eat one of these bad boys. Or two. Or thirty. If you can limit yourself, good for you, but alas, I am not that powerful.
Best street meat in the city! A must-​have!

Best gyro ever!

This place just gets worse and worse. It clearly changed management a year or so ago. Now some aggressive, fat, bald sweaty guy sweats all over the meat while he’s cooking it. The flavor sucks and the guy gyps you every time. I tried it again a few days ago after almost a year and I should have saved my 6 bucks.

If you ever eat meat on the street, it should be from this gyro cart. It has no name, but is quickly becoming famous in the neighborhood. Catty-​corner from the Irish Rover, this cart is a can’t miss for all Astorians. My pick is a lamb gyro with vegetables, white and red sauces ($ 4). They also have chicken and veggie options. Or if you’re feeling a little more sophisticated than finger foods, get it over rice, in a box and go eat it with your fancy fork.
