Deets: The Gyro Project, which features authentic Greek street food with a contemporary twist, all crafted with Greece’s finest and freshest ingredients, announced the Grand Opening of its first Manhattan restaurant on the Upper West Side, located at 2062 Broadway, at the corner of 71st and Broadway.

The Gyro Project was founded by restauranteurs George Tenedios and Spiro Kokkosis. The Upper West Side location was a collaborative effort with the team behind Kyma Restaurants in Hudson Yards and Flatiron.

Offering a cornerstone of tradition and a culinary escape to the bustling markets of Athens and beyond, The Gyro Project will offer Greek mezedes (or appetizers), specialty fries, pitas and bowls, salads, a range of entree platters, feta-brined whole bird rotisserie chicken, extensive traditional sweet and savory Greek bakery items, and a full froyo program with twists such as a de-constructed baklava.

Hint for the Average Socialite: On Thursday, April 10, the restaurant will host a celebration where the first 50 people in line for dinner, starting at 5PM, will receive a free t-shirt, swag and a free gyro – the restaurant’s signature menu item, which starts with a pita filled with either beef & lamb, chicken or pork belly, and then topped with crispy french fries, tomatoes, onions and any of the restaurant’s house made sauces, including tzatziki, spicy feta, TGP house sauce, hot harissa or honey mustard.
