Shimon Maman’s , whose décor includes streetlamps imported from Tel Aviv, has opened a to-go operation called The Kiosk.
It’s billed as New York’s answer to the Israeli falafel stand, and it’s slinging up street food such as pita with falafel, kebabs, the eggplant sandwich sabich, bourekas and house-made hummus.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
