NY Dosas

NY Dosas makes a Village lunch feel connected to an individual New York food business. Thiru Kumar, who came to the city from Sri Lanka, established his vegetarian and vegan pushcart in Washington Square Park. The cart and its operator are the reason to seek out this particular corner of the park.

A dosa is the natural order: a rice-and-lentil crepe prepared as part of a vegan menu. Samosas provide a smaller addition when available. The attraction is a fresh cart lunch that can be eaten in the park, with a different culinary identity from the hot dogs and halal platters found elsewhere in the guide.

This is a daytime food stop with the park as its setting. It works with a Village walk, leaving room for a separate dinner later. The cart’s service is personal and its trading can depend on the day’s conditions, so it belongs in a flexible plan rather than as the only meal possible before a fixed appointment.

Choose NY Dosas for a vegan street-food lunch and the chance to experience a long-established independent cart. The park setting supplies the place to spend time afterwards; the cart itself supplies the reason to come.
