No camera at Uncle Gussy's yet — these are the closest live lines we cover.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Uncle Gussy's yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
The Infatuation's NYC food truck guide describes Uncle Gussy's as a Midtown East fixture with a serious lunch crowd: "In pre-pandemic times, it wasn't uncommon to see 40+ people standing in line to get some Greek food from this truck." The truck has operated at the same 51st & Park corner since the family's cart-truck business began in 1971.
The Infatuation notes the truck is still running there daily, though it adds the line "may be invariably shorter these days" than the pre-pandemic 40-person queues — suggesting demand has cooled somewhat but the lunch rush persists.
