Carnegie John is affordable, friendly, fast, and delicious! Get the gyro or shish kebab on pita for a quick meal to eat in the park. The chicken breast is fresh, juicy, and perfectly charred, excellent with the white yogurt sauce.

This iconic food cart is located kitty corner across from Park Central Hotel before the side entrance to Carnegie Hall. It's a very unassuming cart and John keeps things simple with made to order sandwiches and platters. I ordered 2 lamb gyro pita sandwiches with vegetables and "white sauce" for my wife and me. Fresh, tasty, good. And John is a super nice guy.

The Greek seller is very nice, and the sandwiches offered are good and not expensive (10 dollars max). The hot dogs are to be tasted, and are worth their 2 dollars.

Pretty damn good. John has been on the corner of 56/7th forever and very happy to see he is still there post-COVID. He still seems to have a good following. He can seem a bit gruff at times as he can be super busy. This time - He looked up and gave me a super warm welcome. We chatted about the city post-COVID. For $10 a great lunch on a hot day! Chicken and rice with white sauce with Salad on side.
I wanted to love this cart. I walked several blocks to get a steak sandwich, but alas, it was tough. The owner was great, but the end product just ok.

The best NYC street cart hands down.

They're back! One of the best lunch places that I missed dearly during the pandemic. Chicken over rice is the best here. The gyro is also a good option.

Pretty average cart spot. I went out of my way to give it a shot because of the raving reviews but didn't understand the hype. I got the gyro platter and was surprised to see he uses what the dingiest NYC carts use for their gyro meat - those long oval pieces, nothing authentic about it. The dish was fine, but cost more than a standard cart. Won't return.

Friendly cart outside Carnegie Hall. His shish kebabs and steak bowls have great quality meat.
