Hummus Place is up to three locations now, East Village Hummus Place-EV, West Village Hummus Place-WV, and the Upper West Side Hummus Place-UWS. While everyone is raving about the hummus, I'd like to turn the spotlight onto their pita! The hummus is very good, but the pita is the best pita in NYC. The texture is incredible. I like their green sauce too.

A west village (somewhere - haven’t been yet) when you live in a city as small and as big as new york, you eventually come to terms with the mini-chain. le pain quotidien is the first large (12 sites in manhattan, and many international) chain that [...]

I had no idea that hummus and pita could be such a sensual experience. Today, I was on the Upper West Side debating whether I should pop into Fairway when I went one block over to Amsterdam, where I enjoyed an incredibly satisfying lunch special at Hummus Place: shakshuka accompanied by mint lemonade, puffy, hot fresh pitas and a hummus as sinful as peanut butter.

Remember how I said I'd try to not eat wheat because it may possibly put my life into great wheezy danger? Well, just like a crack addict goes back to the dealer for a burst of euphoria (not that I've had crack...), my legs directed me towards the north end of the Union Square Greenmarket where I knew hamentashen lay, waiting in bounteous piles of triangular, poppy seed-filled babies (triangular babies are in; ask your local geneticist). It's not something you see very often.

One of the first restaurants I visited after finding the Sietsema list was his number 2 choice, Hummus Place, in its MacDougal Street (between W. 3rd and Bleecker) location – still haven’t been to the St. Marks Pl. location, but I assume that it’s of the same quality. It was quite a revelation, both for quality of food and for mind-blowing cheapness. At the time, I was under the delusion that it was impossible to feed oneself well in NYC for five dollars, but the list combined with the hummus worked some kind of Texan-Israeli voodoo on my impressionable brain, I think. Now I’m going to Midwood for sheep testicles. WTF?!? Okay, I made that one up. Kind of.

To the uninitiated, the word "hummus" may invoke images of mucuous secretions. But at the aptly named Hummus Place in the East and West Village, their namesake dish is as decadent as butter.
