Esquire says East Side eatery has best gyros in U.S.

It’s never too early to start thinking about lunch.

And if you like gyros, you’re in luck, at least according to Esquire magazine, says East Side Pocket’s on Thayer Street has the best gyros in the country.

Quite a claim.

The magazine says the gyros, which can be ordered with just about any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean accoutrement imaginable – tahini, veggies, hummus, tabouleh – are the best Syrian street food outside of Damascus.

If you’re looking for a sandwich-themed weekend -- and why not? – try a three-day weekend in Connecticut. Our neighbor to the west apparently has three of the best sandwiches in the country, according to the magazine.

The Cove Fish Market in Stonington wins for its fried cod sandwich; Abbot's Lobster in the Rough in Noank for its mayo-free hot lobster roll; and West Hartford's Restaurant Bricco for its grilled lobster and Havarti sandwich.

And Massachusetts, like Rhode Island, apparently knows lamb. Matt Murphy’s in Brookline scores a win for its lamb sirloin sandwich, served with pickles and relish, and a slightly minty sauce.

Hungry yet?
