Da Falafel Guys Folds After 2 Years on Rivington Street
Da Falafel Guys are down for the count. Much like its Rivington Street predecessor.
The fast-casual eatery at 157 Rivington Street hasn’t been open the last couple weeks, and the space is now stocked with junk. Calls to the Halal falafel joint are answered only by the token operator stating that the number is no longer in service.
Run by three Lower East Side locals, Da Falafel Guys debuted in the spring of 2017, forged from the restaurant remains of The Falafel Shop which closed several months earlier.
