Hmm.
The younger me, when I was into going out and exploring home..there’s a spot near West 4th known for their Falafels and there’s usually a line outside just to get one. Super good, I’ll try to remember to get the name of the spot for you..it’s been too many years since I’ve been there.
There’s another place I went to around that area for my 21st birthday, pretty good and good drinks too. Honestly? Me and my friends use to legit just walk in lower Manhattan and just find spots. I’ll ask some of my friends about some places and let you know what I come up with.
