Happy Sails to You, Mr. Souvlaki

060608_mrsouvlaki.gifFound this story on the Brooklyn Record, too. And it hits hard. Mr. Souvlaki was our favorite place when Hepcat and I lived on  Montague Street back in the 1980’s. That was before Teen Spirit and the Oh So Feisty One. It was me, Hepcat, and all his computer equipment squeezed into my cozy studio apartment. That was back in the day. It was all completely romantic and fun and we loved eating at Mr. Souvlaki. In fact, at the time it was the only place on Montague we liked other than the diner that was on the corner of Hicks.

Hepcat and his mother grabbed a bite at Mr. Souvlaki a few weeks ago – I forget what they were doing over there. And I’ve been back, too. Our pediatrician is located a couple of blocks away so it’s been a fun lunch stop after doctor appointments. Oh, Mr. Souvlaki, we will miss your lamb roasting on the skewer, your falafel, your gyros, your babaganoush. Good bye and happy sailing.
