If you like Mediterranean, you MUST try D’s! It’s definitely a hole in the wall / mom and pop type place but we LOVE their gyro plate!
Pro tip - don’t go if you’re in a hurry.. mom and pop don’t move as fast as they used to 🤷🏽♀️ Worth the wait though!

Take them to Slow Rise. They’ll get pizza and play, you’ll get a drink and some peace. Trust me.

Don’t know their history but I know they’ve been a local staple for a VERY long time!
