New York Gyro Lunch

On the corner of 33rd and Market, right next to the statue of Mario, sits a relatively new lunch truck, New York Gyro Lunch. With a menu that boasted $3 gyros, they easily hooked me. And after tasting this $3 gyro, I’m a regular customer. The pita bread is always warm and soft, and the choice of chicken & lamb is hard to make. I prefer the lamb, which they cut up in little cubes and give you plenty of. The gyro is topped with lettuce, tomato, and what they call “red and white” sauce, which is hot sauce and a mystery white sauce with a wonderful sweet flavor. You can also order the Rice or salad with Chicken or lamb ($5), and that comes with a drink (choose from water or the usual sodas).

Everything on the menu is always hot, messy, and full of moisture, which is why they supply a handful of napkins with each order. So check out this delicious lunch spot, where the lines keep getting longer and the people are always friendly.
