Boy, did we journalists (and the junkies) ever miss eating greasy pizza and Greek salads super-late after Mount Vernon's Never on Sunday closed a couple of years back due to a fire. Don't get us wrong--it wasn't that good, but it was open. Well, guess who's back? And not so much with a vengeance as with classically prepared Greek specialties, pizza, and diner and takeout food that's no big surprise. The grilled chicken souvlaki on grilled pita ($5.50) is close to perfect--only needing a bit more onion--with tender chicken chunks, loads of fresh parsley, and just the right amount of creamy sauce. Their well-executed gyros ($5.50) rock a chewy grilled pita and more of that dead-on parsley. And off in takeoutland, the fish sandwich with cheese ($4.75) got it right--crunchy, flavorful, and light--and the tuna salad club sandwich ($6.95) is peppery enough to please, but the antipasto salad ($5.75) is a crappy iceberg mound with a couple of veggies and sliced pepperoni and salami cold cuts. Cuppa chili ($1.95) is salty, dense, and comforting; cuppa vegetable soup ($1.95) sucks. Hey, NOS isn't blowing anyone away, but it does the Greek thing right, and late at night (except, of course, on Sunday).
