Just had falafel from Sam's. Hot sauce is hot, as advertised, and the sandwich is big and yummy. Incidentally, the sandwich is now $4, platter $5. New to downtown eating. Just had falafel from Sam’s.

I'm not too huge on falafel (though I do enjoy it, I came here more for the value proposition - I'm poor), this is actually pretty good. They stuff it FULL of stuff including fried eggplant, which I don't see other places doing. I don't know if it's the ridiculously ominous gray clouds looming today or what, but the sandwich is stuffed way fuller than in that pic. Maybe they were looking to get rid of stuff before the impending rain comes and kills business? Pretty good stuff just ate here today on your recommendation.

I used to go there all the time when I worked at WTC 2. I think it was 2.50 for a falafel at the time, which was a Godsend cause I wasn't making squat. I really miss sitting in the park there and chasing the birds away from my crumbs until I finished. I’ll echo the comments about missing Sam’s. I used to go there all the time when I worked at WTC 2.

How is the hot sauce? It looks potent. Once again you’ve made me wish I worked downtown, Mr. Krieger. How is the hot sauce? It looks potent.

The guy Sam (Yasser) was really pretty friendly too like some people said here in the comments. I have no idea if TONY profiled it a few weeks back but I will feel kinda dumb if they did..ha

You see? No burrito. PS If I went here, I would totally order the platter for the sheer purpose of not having to eat it sandwich-style. You see? No burrito.
