Restaurant Style: Sit-down or Take Out
I admit, I was skeptical about the "world-famous" claim, but one bite turned me into a believer. The perfect level of spice, coupled with mac and cheese that tasted like a comforting home-cooked dish, made for a quick and budget-friendly culinary delight.

Another 'famous' find that lived up to its name! The helpful staff guided me through the menu, explaining the nuances between the Classic Lobster Roll and the Connecticut Lobster Roll. Opting for the latter, I savored the warm, buttery perfection that melted in my mouth. Absolutely delicious!

Perfect for those late-night cravings after a night out on 6th Ave, this gyro cart is a hidden gem. My first encounter with a gyro left me craving more, thanks to the amazing white sauce and spicy sauce. It was the ideal way to wrap up a night out.
