Another post from The Dish With Dean. Started our day off Sunday with 2 great friends. Plan was to do as we always do. Go into the city and wing it. We started by driving into the city and sat in traffic. But more time to spend with great friends. Got a great parking spot on the street by Hogs and Heffers. Went to take a walk along the High Line. We had never been there before and we walked along the High Line from 12th street to 33rd street. I found the perception of Manhattan from that height very different. After walking back toward the car we had to decide on the most important thing. Do we stay in the city for dinner or stray away. We chose to go into Astoria which by the way if anyone has not been, the place is hopping. We went to a place called Crave. A local Greek dive on 31st ave and 36 street. This is a place for triple D to come and visit. The Food was fresh and delicious. We had babaganoush and some fresh warm Pita to start and a small serving of Hummus. Both were very good and paved the way for what was next to come. I have not ordered a real Gyro is quite sometime but I didn't see Chicken Gyro so I ordered a regular Gyro platter. At the table we had 2 orders of Greek Bowls and a Pork Donor Platter. All 4 dishes came out looking great and the food was amazing. All sauces are homemade and the yogurt sauce added a nice touch to everything. I could easily go back here just so I can have the Greek bowl or any other bowl varieties they offer. Check it out!
