Greco is Now Open at the Burlington Mall
The year is 2017. I'm working in Back Bay on Boylston St. and another restaurant opens at 225 Newbury St., a space that had seen its share of restaurants come and go over the years (RIP Scissors and Pie). Greco, a fast-casual Greek restaurant opens—gyros with fresh ingredients, greek donuts (loukoumades), salads, zucchini chips and more. The lunch spot I didn't know I needed but soon became an instant obsession - especially the veggie fritter pita. Fast forward several years later, we move office spaces and the only way to satisfy a Greco craving is by trekking through the Seaport or paying a pricey premium via Uber Eats. It was the ultimate lunchtime drought.
