Eastanbul Gyro Kebab has been emptied out (we had reader reports in the past two weeks about a possible shutter here)... workers were spotted removing equipment from the sliver of a space yesterday...
In addition, Smyrna Bakery that served out of the south end of 200 Allen St., is also closed.
Empire Gyro, with a 24/7 schedule, opened here in February 2019 ... with the conversion to Eastanbul (and Smyrna) in the summer of 2020.
There is no good gyro in New York, none can compete with a shawarma.
ReplyDeleteI thought their lamb gyro wrapped in pita bread was pretty good. I used to go there often I am sorry they closed. I cannot think of another decent place to get a Lamb gyro in the whole LES/EV.
ReplyDeleteI still miss The Sugar Cafe, which had great pancakes and better diner food than most diners.
ReplyDeleteAh, that was a nice classic place even though it wasn't there very long.
