Rejoice, East Village! There's a new Mamoun's on St. Mark's just off Third Ave. This place makes the second-best falafel sandwich in the city (#1 is Rainbow, on 17th/Broadway) and it's so far superior to vile Chickpea around the corner (saurkraut does NOT belong on a falafel sandwich!!!) as to be in a different league. St. Mark's Mamoun's has the same three tables as the MacDougal shop, as well as two outdoor cafe tables on the sidewalk. Only downside is that it's down a short flight of stairs and thus handicapped-inaccessible.
Pros: Great cheap street food, fast service
Cons: almost no seating
