"NYU is surrounded by spots serving average falafel to people looking to soak up some of those 3am fireball shots from Off The Wagon. If you want above-average falafel in a more sober setting, then check out Taboonette. They serve great pitas and platters with things like chicken shawarma and lamb kebab. This is one of our favorite takeout spots in the area, though you can eat-in if you grab one of the 10 or so seats. They’re also open for breakfast, when they have a very good shakshuka." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
