FIRST LOOK: The New House of Pita
The new House of Pita opened yesterday on 46th btw. 5+6th. The window on 48th btw. 5+6th will remain open with the same menu they’ve always had, but the new location will have an expanded menu, and places to sit. They are only at about 60% right now, serving the same falafel you can get at the 48th St. window, an expanded bourakas menu, plus their new personal pizzas- but come Monday (6/18) they will be at 100%, with a full service salad bar, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juices, sandwiches and more.

The new salad & fruit bar, PLUS the apple cinnamon bourakus- after the jump…
Waiting for Monday seems like the way to go… unless you can’t wait for an apple cinnamon bouraka!

What’s a bouraka?

Zach, I read your website everyday. I just laugh at some of the things you write and how you write them. I love reading all the comments from others who read this site also.
Mom… how many times do I have to tell you not to comment on the site. -zach

Popped in to the new H.O.P. today. The falafel itself is far superior to Kosher Deluxe. Tell-tale sign: the falafel’s interior is dark green, a sign of freshness and herbs. However, in terms of fixins, efficiency and order, they’ve got nothing on the Kosher Deluxe. You never wait more than 90 seconds in K.D., no matter how many people are in front of you. Here, we waited nearly 10 minutes to get a falafel! Also, you are not allowed to serve yourself from the fixin bar. It’s a trade-off: better falafel with inferior fixins and a longer wait. You be da judge.

I’m in the place right now, and my falafel was fantastic! And I know, I’ve eaten at many falafel stands in Israel. I love this place!
tried to go today (6/14) and it said they’d be opening on monday
got street meat and now have a tummy ache =(
I guess the 60% turned into 0%, and they decided to close back up until Monday. Oh well… -zach
