50 Washington Square S

"For what seemed like the first sunny day in weeks, my family and I headed out to Washington Square Park to sample some of Thiru Kuma’s beloved dosas. We arrived shortly before 2 p.m. to find a long line snaking along one of the park’s pathways and waited nearly an hour before we got the masala dosas, since by that point most of his food had already sold out. When we finally got the crepe-like South Indian dish, it had gotten significantly colder, so the steam wafting from the fresh-off-the-griddle dosa, and spicy potato filling was just the antidote we needed to be able to sit on a nearby park bench. A small cup of spicy sambar — the lentil stew typically served alongside dosas — was an ideal dipping accompaniment for the dosa, but you really don’t need anything else beside its starchy, spice-studded stuffing." - Eater Staff
