Greek Village on the East Side
Short Orders
During the building boom of the last decade, a pizzeria was tucked into
the corner of a new condo in the heart of the old East Side. Now, the spot is
home to Greek Village Gyros (1888 N. Humboldt Ave.), which serves an array of
fast and ready Greek favorites—gyros, spinach pies, kabobs, veggie pitas and
dolmades—along with American staples. For a cross-cultural experience, try the
Greek burger with feta, oregano, tomato and black olives. With the restaurant’s
faux marble walls and high ceiling, you could almost think you were in Athens.
Better yet, while the weather is warm, eat at a table on the curbside patio,
screened from the busy street by potted flowers and green plants. Greek Village
is popular in the neighborhood for carry-outs.
