Tony Dragon’s Grille.

Worth it, says Antonina. By using free range chicken, USDA choice steak, and wild caught salmon Tony Dragon’s Grille makes plates that are fresh and flavorful.

Worth it

If you can’t afford a flight to Mykonos there’s no need to fret, Tony Dragon’s Grille brings Greek flavor to you. The food cart has been in business for nearly 40 years, weaving itself into the fabric of the Upper East Side.

Since the food truck is so close to Central Park it’s become tradition for folks to grab a souvlaki, salad, or burger and enjoy it in the park. If you order online you can skip the line and just grab and go.

By using free range chicken, USDA choice steak, and wild caught salmon Tony Dragon’s Grille makes plates that are fresh and flavorful. Just because it’s NYC street food doesn’t mean they sacrifice quality, and I tip my hat to that!

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
