At least one restaurant has been expanding during COVID…  After opening a new location in Westwood in November, Nick The Greek Souvlaki & Gyro House is moving into the location at 219 Arizona (Third St. Promenade) in Santa Monica, most recently oppcupied by Creams & Dreams.  Nick The Greek has a number of locations in Northern California, and is slowly moving into SoCal.  They offer a menu of souvlaki and gyro, as well as falafel, burgers, salads, and soup.
