gyro

For lunch today, I had a gyro from the middle-eastern cart on First Avenue. It was cheap, $4, and it actually was good. A gyro is to Greeks (maybe) what subway sandwiches is to Americans. From what I've read, gyros actually are almost interchangeable with souvlaki depending on where you are and who you are talking to. Essentially though, the gyro is meat with tomatoes, lettuce and spices with tzatziki sauce. I had my gyro with slices of lamb, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and hot sauce on a pita bread.
