Friday night, those in a packed Eisenhower were given a sense of the diversity of the jazz realm featuring two legends Dave Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis.

Us New Yorkers, we're familiar with the legendary gyro cart known only by it's location--53rd and 6th. Hell, the place has its own Wikipedia page. Needless to say, it sets the bar for street food everywhere. Someday, Sunny Shakhawala hopes that State Platters reaches that lofty plateau.
