Meaty Sandwiches Near Penn Station — and Other Cheap Eats - Eater NY
"If you like meat and lots of it in your lunch special, Turkish newcomer Harmony Grill is your place. Located across the street from Penn Station, the place flaunts a pair of gyro cylinders (also known as doner in Turkey and shawarma in the Middle East) twirling like pirouetting dancers in the front window. A peek inside the glass case reveals more kebabs, including lamb shish kebab, and even better, lamb or chicken adana kebabs laced with garlic, chiles, and herbs. Plenty for vegetarians, too, running to eggplant salads, stuffed grape leaves, and a baby eggplant stew called bamya. But what draws first timers in is the lunch special, whereby a gyro sandwich with plenty of meat and greenery in a pita is served with a mountains of crinkle cut fries and a canned beverage of your choice for $8. The chicken doner is better than the lamb, and for an extra buck, you can have a larger sandwich wrapped cylindrically in Turkish bread, which is something like a flour tortilla." - Robert Sietsema
