"If you’ve ever left Down The Hatch or McSorley’s after 2am, then you are probably familiar with Mamoun’s. And even if you haven’t, you should still acquaint yourself with the best $3.50 you can spend around NYU. The falafel and shawarma are both good options, and you can choose a platter rather than sandwich if you want more food." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren

Where To Find Healthy Food That Doesn’t Suck

"Semsom is a new fast-casual restaurant on Astor place, serving up excellent Middle Eastern bowls of rice, hummus, veggies, and your choice of meat or veggies for protein. Think of it as a Lebanese version of Chipotle, except that it’s clean and not full of angry people. Pro-tip: top your bowl with the cauliflower. It’s excellent." - chris stang

"Best Shawarma & Falafel in NYC One of the oldest falafel joints in New York City , and one of the first Middle Eastern establishments in the United States, Mamoun’s remains a satisfying choice for spicy, hearty staples for just a few bucks. While they’ve expanded to five other locations, I'm partial to the original Mamoun’s (est. 1971) on MacDougal Street for its cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibe. Plus, there’s free yoga next door (Yoga to the People), and if you’re lucky enough to get a table outside, the people-watching is top-notch. My go-to combo whenever I’m in the area is a falafel sandwich drenched in their volcanic signature hot sauce and a side of tabouleh. By Samantha Willner"
