19 Places For A Casual Meal Near NYU

"There are a lot of street food options around NYU - burrito bowls, Halal chicken and rice, and Thai noodles are a few. While those trucks have the benefit of being able to park in front of Stern everyday, Otafuku x Medetai serves Japanese street food that warrants a short walk to the East Village. The takoyaki (doughy balls stuffed with grilled octopus) and okonomiyaki (savory pancakes) combo platter is one of the best $12 lunch orders around." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
