What rock have I been hiding under?! My favorite food truck is now a restaurant, which opened in April of this year! Winners of the 2010 Vendy Award for "Best Rookie Truck", Souvlaki GR's food is simple, authentic Greek "fast food". Although the furthest thing from Arby's it
is quite fast, and of course, it
is, (you guessed it): food. It is a great place to grab a bite on the run, not to mention it is very gentle on the wallet. Anytime I spot it parked in Soho, it is my go-to. I am ALWAYS in the mood for a souvlaki! My favorite is the pork souvlaki ($4.50) , or chicken and pork stix ($2.00). Now I am really picky about my tzatziki sauce, (not that I have had it straight from Greece or anything!) and theirs is one of the best I've had. Their pita is always fresh and warm, and their meats are spiced perfectly. The cool part is that the owners always drive the truck, cook and serve you the food! With it's growing popularity, this part may not last for long, but either way, they are very nice and pleasant folks. Whether you check out the truck parked on Spring St. on the weekends, or stop by the new LES restaurant, this is a place
everyone should try.

Restaurant week is my favorite week, even though it's more than a week and it comes twice a year. Now I have another awesome week to add to that list... Cocktail week! From June 15-29, participating cocktail bars will offer 2 full sized cocktails + an appetizer for $20.11. Proceeds from Cocktail Week also go toward City Harvest's fight against hunger and the Museum of the American Cocktail (that's a thing? Okay).
