New York locals open new NY street food-inspired eatery

A pair of New York natives have brought a taste of The Big Apple to Ohio’s Capital City.

NY Chick’n Gyro, a new concept inspired by New York cuisine, held its soft opening on Feb. 8. It’s located at 1479 Worthington Ave. 

The restaurant owners, who both hail from New York City, are attempting to capture a piece of their native New York’s street food scene.
