Street Food: New York Gyros

One of the typical characteristic of any big city is their street food, it can go from hot dogs to kebabs, tacos, shawarmas, burgers or even pizza food carts. New York is no exception, and their addition to this urban fast food cheap metropolis cuisine is the Gyros. Greek Pita bread rolls usually filled with lamb, chicken, or any other meat, tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce can be found in any corner in Manhattan.

I went to Kwik Meal on 45^th Street with 6^th avenue, and ordered a lamb gyro. The good thing about this place is they use marinated lamb meat pieces grilled instead of sliced from a rottisserie, which gives a better flavour and texture.
