The Irresistible Creperie

Eating a crepe on the go isn’t always possible, especially if it’s stuffed with drippy fruit sauces and loaded with cheese. However, once you become more adept, crepes turn out to be good mobile snacks. In Paris, you’ll find many crepe stands doling them out in wax paper or on paper plates. The Creperie NYC, one of New York’s few take-out places serving an extensive lineup of these savories, prepares them hot and crispy right before your eyes. The crepe artist behind the counter...

Mamoun’s Falafel

A place has got to be good if it’s still around after opening here in NYC back in 1971….and in the Village for that matter, with all its high priced gentrification. At 119 MacDougal St. (map), Mamoun’s serves up some mean falafel! It’s easy to pass with a brown awning blending in with the surrounding brownstones but you’ll know you’ve arrived when you see more than a few folks burying their faces in something wrapped in foil.
