$ Columbus Circle
A women-owned, kosher, plant-based falafel counter inside the Turnstyle Underground Market at Columbus Circle. The falafel is crisp, herb-forward, and made for quick lunches, with hummus and shawarma-style veggie plates rounding out the menu. It’s a newer, low-profile option that feels like a local find for clean Middle Eastern street food.

Best viewed as a fuel-up stop rather than a destination meal, with strong customization and weekday convenience.
