Moshe's Falafel

46th & 6th Ave., New York, NY -
Posted By Michael Stern on 4/18/2004 4:24:00 AM
There's falafel aplenty on the street carts of midtown Manhattan; and in our opinion, most of it is mediocre: dessicated spheres low on flavor. Moshe's Falafel, which sets up shop each day at the southeast corner of 46th Street and 6th Avenue, is in a class by itself. Here the falafel are wickedly crunchy with moist centers that are radiant with the soft, earthy goodness of mashed chickpeas.

You can buy just plain falafel, but the way we like them is in a sandwich: four hefty balls piled into a folded flatbread, gilded with tahini, lettuce, tomato, and pickle.

We have never walked past Moshe's when there wasn't at least a cluster of people waiting to order. At high noon, the line stretches for yards. But the guys inside this cart are efficiency incarnate; so no matter how many people are waiting, you'll get your falafel pronto.

Here's the way to enjoy midtown's best falafel: in a sandwich with tahini sauce and a great spill of garnishes.
