"Quick-serve Greco Truly Greek makes its first foray outside of Massachusetts on Monday, January 15, in Georgetown (1335 Wisconsin Avenue NW). A second newly announced D.C. locale will open in the Union Market district some time this spring or summer (1285 4th Street NE). The growing chain that packs portable pitas with its famed fries and all sorts of proteins (pork, chicken, lamb, ground beef) also specializes in pita plates, marinated souvlaki skewers or feasts, Greek salads, avgolemono soup, iced coffee, and sides like halloumi, zucchini chips, and feta-flanked fries dusted with oregano. Sizable orders include a trio of lamb chops with fries, horiatiki salad, tzatziki, and pita bread. A retail section is stocked with imported sweets, sea salt, Nescafe, and Greco’s own private-label olive oil produced by farms in Sparta. The bright, airy replacement to a former &pizza offers room for 30 across 2,000 square feet. Daily hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. On opening day, guests can get a gyro for $1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m." - Tierney Plumb
