Spices and Low Prices: Mamoun's Falafel Restaurant

My good friend Little Chief had a baby only two weeks before we came to New York City -- not exactly the best time for a dinner out! We picked up some grub to go from Mamoun's Falafel Restaurant, one of Little Chief's favorite places.

This is one of three locations. It's small, efficient, and just as good as I remembered it. The last time I had Mamoun's was back in 2004 when I was in trial in New Haven, Connecticut.

To remember the way something tastes six years later? That's special.

At Little Chief's awesome pad, we plowed through a pile of pita pockets packed with shawarma ($5.00), chicken kebab ($5.00), and falafel ($2.50). Seasoned meat and chickpeas, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, parsley, and Tahini sauce galore!


The flavors were nearly as delicious as the prices, which were almost as awesome as catching up with old friends and meeting their perfect little new son.

After a great evening with good friends, we hopped on the subway.

The night was young. There were still adventures to be had.
