Habib's Place

Yeah, Habib should wear a crown, he's the falafel king of the East Village. Habib's Place (89 Avenue A East Village) is worth checking out. Conveniently located next to the world music destination Drom, serves some of the best Middle Eastern food downtown. Habib's trick is to make fresh falafels for each customer, and the results are simply delicious. For under $5 you can get a falafel and hummus sandwich with the works, a good value indeed.
