Corfu Grill








In the beautiful borough of Queens is one of the cheapest and best lunch specials in town. On the outdoor terrace of the Corfu Grill is where I ate lunch and where they offer a $6 lunch special with a huge amount of fresh Greek fare for the price. For the unbelievable price you get a choice of greek or ceasar salads, a soup, tzatziki, pita, choice of fresh cut fries, rice or lemon potatoes and choice of about 15 mains including gyro, chicken kebab, cheese burger, mousaka, pastichio etc. The chicken soup was a little greasy, peppery and tasty. My gyro was on a packed plate with a fresh greek salad, delish lemon potatoes, tasty lamb gyro, greasy grilled pita and yummy tzatziki. A more bangin' bargain you could not find in any borough, a little old school, but CHEAP!
MUST GO!

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream











Located in the afternoon on the corner of Greene and Prince Streets, this brightly colored ice-cream truck serves fresh frozen treats to the masses in Soho. Creamy, dreamy hormone free ingredients are used in the ice-cream. The treats are expensive at $3.95 a scoop for truck treats. I had the currants and cream and gianduja on a sugar cone for $5.75 The currants and cream an unusual flavor though very popular in jolly ole' England was top of the scoop and the gianduja was also good though not of the Grom quality. The sugar cone was not so fresh and not homemade. I am so spoiled by the Odeon ice-cream cart. Homemade hot fudge was bangin' and I would opt for it on future visits.
GO!
