Where Should First-Time NYC Visitors Eat on the Cheap? - Eater NY
"Souvlaki GR is a cozy Greek restaurant that’s a branch of a favorite Lower East Side establishment. Like its parent, the Midtown outpost looks like a seaside taverna on the island of Mykonos, complete with village decor and a cheery blue-and-white color scheme. The menu runs to platters featuring multiple bread dips (try the garlicky skordalia); charcoal-grilled kebabs featuring lamb, chicken, and shrimp; with lots of meal-size salads and vegetarian entrees like luscious stuffed peppers. Don’t miss the grilled octopus! Showcasing the currently popular Greek vintages, the wine list offers 20 wines by the bottle and glass, and, afterwards, baklava and strong Greek coffee — if you’ve never tried it before, don’t drink the grit in the bottom of the cup." - Robert Sietsema
