As if you couldn’t tell from this, this, or this, I’m a terrible Jew. But on Friday, with Rosh Hashanah looming, something deep inside my subconscious lured me into Pick a Pita (on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th). It’s been awhile since I’ve stepped into this Kosher falafel and shawarma joint, but it’s been fairly well [...]

Unlike House of Pita, which struggled to get their customers to travel to 8th Ave. from their original 48th Street location, Pick-a-Pita seems to be having no trouble keeping their clientele. Granted their original location (on 38th btw. 7+8th) is around the corner from the new larger location (on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th_… but this [...]

Surprisingly the new location of Pick-A-Pita (on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th) did in fact open on Tuesday- before shutting down on Wednesday night, and all of Thursday to observe Yom Kippur. They’ll be back open for business today… and just in time too. On Wednesday amNY named them one of the falafel places in New York [...]

The original Pick-a-Pita (on 38th btw. 7+8th), home of the french fry stuffed schwarma/falafel sandwich, has closed for the holidays (Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur) and will not re-open. Instead the business will shift to their new location on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th (the former home of House of Pita.) Originally they said they were [...]

According to a sign in the window, the 2nd location of Pick a Pita (in the former House of Pita location on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th) will open on October 6th. French fry filled schwarma sandwiches for all! In the meantime, you can still go to their original location on 38th btw. 7+8th.

Well that answers that question. Pick A Pita, a tiny but righteous falafel and shawarma spot on 38th btw. 7+8th, will be opening a second outpost in the now closed House of Pita space on 8th Ave. btw. 39+40th. The tiny closet they currently operate will remain open, meaning you will now have two Pick-a-Pita options right [...]

For un-fat people not looking to stuff various foods with french fries, a picture like this might be hard to decipher. I am not one of those people. Thanks to Josh, I became aware of the very exciting information [...]
