"Mamoun’s, a New Haven import that appeared in this location in 1971, helped introduce the city to falafel, which became an immediate hit. NYU students still drop in at all hours (open till 2 a.m.) for a falafel sandwich in a pita bread — a meal that can be eaten on the run. Plenty of other vegetarian and non-vegetarian Middle Eastern fare available." - Robert Sietsema
