Delicious falafel - Edit
I love this place. They have a little outdoor seating, and a few high chairs indoors. They have a small menu but very versatile. You can combine them however you want. It’s also pretty cheap and amazingly fast.

Evolution of Mamoun's - Edit
In the late 70s, 80s, 90s, I ate approximately a million of Mamoun's falafel, no tahini, at both West and East Village locations. Back then, it was just falafel in a pita, no other choices. We all shouted our orders and handed over our cash. Now, Upper West Side, kiosk ordering, people pushing strollers in the door, the Lululemon crowd, it's lost some charm and added some zeros to the prices. But good memories.

Open now--and ready for business - Edit
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.
Read moreSince 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.
Pros: Tasty felafel. , Inexpensive.
Cons: Not for fancy dining--a quick-bite-type place.
