"Back in the 1970s, I would trek down to Macdougal Street in Greenwich Village whenever I wanted a falafel sandwich--that was the only place in NYC to get falafel. The best falafel sandwiches were to be found at Mamoun's--and arguably that is still true. Since then, felafel places have sprouted all over NYC, and I am happy to see that Mamoun's has an uptown branch as well. This place is counter serve, mostly for takeout, though they have a few benches to sit and eat (and Central Park is not far away). I did not see a bathroom for customers. This place is not all vegan, but they do have some good mideastern choices. For an elegant vegan meal, you would be better off at (the much pricier) Blossom across the street. But for a quick, inexpensive bite, Mamoun's is a good bet."
