The average temperature on the island of Crete in July and August is 84 degrees, which is even hotter than in Central Park. So if grilled shrimp skewers, veggie pitas, and platters of dips work for the Cretans, it should work for you too. You’ll find all of that, and a bunch of other classic Greek dishes, three blocks south of the park at Souvlaki GR.

The Lower East Side, Midtown, and Midtown East locations of this Greek spot are doing takeout and delivery right now, which means a feast of spanakopita, greek salad, and meat skewers are just a few clicks away.
