Worth it, says Antonina. Anyone who’s worked or lived in East Midtown will likely be familiar with Uncle Gussy’s, one of the oldest food trucks in New York City.

Worth it

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Anyone who’s worked or lived in East Midtown will likely be familiar with Uncle Gussy’s, one of the oldest food trucks in New York City. They opened in 1971 and have remained a family business, serving traditional Greek fare.

The menu is brimming Greek salads, pitas and platters and Fair warning, they’re generous servings. I should also mention Uncle Gussy’s, like a lot of the best street food in New York City, is cash-only unless you order online.
