Alan's Falafel (Water St. and Old Slip)

Another branch of Alan's - the first one was at cart central over on Broadway. I'm not sure how closely related they are but the signage is the same. The falafel sandwich at $3 is a huge lunch bargain. It's piled high with falafel, sauteed eggplant, hummus, babaghanoush, white sauce and red sauce. As a result, it's impossible to bite - I had to dig out the fillings with my fork. The falafel is really herbaceous, very green in color. It's a little dry, but the herbs give it a nice, sharp flavor. The falafel balls are crispy just like the other Alan's. This sandwich makes for a yummy quick cheap lunch...when you don't have time to make the trek west to Sam's Falafel on Broadway.
