//The line

Give Me Astoria reports that "every day, a line quickly forms" at King Souvlaki around lunchtime, with part-owner Lampros Tsampas explaining the business traces to his great-uncle's pushcart at the same spot since 1979, evolving into a fleet of trucks and a restaurant.

The outlet observed the demand holds even in bad weather: on a rainy day, "a loyal contingent of customers is content to wait in the rain" for the souvlaki, per Give Me Astoria.
