Falafel Truck

[freeport_pirate]

When I first moved to New York City, I lived blocks away from Mamoun's Falafel on MacDougal St. I could get a hot and fresh falafel for $1.50 or go crazy and get the falafel/hummus combo for $2.00. I was a vegetarian at the time, so a cheap and tasty sandwich I could get as late as 5 am was most welcome

While we were in NYC a couple of months ago, Gina and I split a falafel from a curbside vendor and it was very tasty. It was just another little piece of the city that made me realize how boring Austin actually is.

If you mean Austin, TX...

I don't know you, but I'd have to smack you. Austin is an amazing town with so much interest and places to explore and do.

If you mean Austin anywhere else.. please ignore the person behind the certain.

Austin, TX, yes. I'm constantly frustrated with Austin. Maybe if they'd get the damned downtown area cleaned up -- and some decent parking -- I'd enjoy the city more. As it is, though, downtown Austin is a waste of real estate space.

And why is it Austin's gaming scene is . . . well, not even a scene?

Dude, I'll be glad to give you my guide for parking Downtown. I can usually find an on-street spot within three blocks of where I'm going and I often walk by an empty spot on my way there. There is always closer parking if you're will to pay.

As for the lack of a scene, good question. The lack of any cons might be part of it. I've been wondering if it would be worthwhile to have a freelancer's happy hour.

As for falafel, when I was in New York, it amazed me that I could find a cheaper and tastier lunch from the falafel vendors on Wall Street than I could anywhere in White Plains.

I'm up for an industry get together in Austin.
