Take extra napkins when you get this falafel sandwich. Consider taking a fork as well. I mean, I fancy myself a pretty proficient falafel eater, but this overstuffed, cannonball-sized sandwich posed a challenge. Sauce went everywhere, pickles were skittering, fragments of heavenly-light falafel were flying. Do not try to eat this on the run. There is a nice park just a few paces down the block on 46th Street -- do yourself a solid and sit down to eat, and take the time to savor the complex layering of flavors -- the fried chick pea, the squeeze of lemon juice, the hints of corriander, the tahini, tomato, lettuce, and chili sauce, all topped with a verty pleasant whole gherkin pickle.
Also -- tender-tounged individuals take note: they put hot sauce on the sandwich as a matter of course, so make sure to specify if you don't want it.
