"This small East Village bodega, open 24 hours, is a step above others because of its vegetarian Indian steam buffet, portioned out from behind a counter. Beyond options such as curried chickpeas and saag, a standout snack are the samosas, or fried pastries filled with spiced potatoes, onions, and peas, just $1.25 each. Chai is a common side order for the pastries." - Dan Q. Dao
