Q.Where can I find hummus in New York?

A Easy! You can find hummus anywhere. Visit vegetarian restaurants, vegan restaurants, middle easetern restaurants, or mediterranean restaurants. They have different kinds of hummus, and you can enjoy all of them!

I recommend high quality restaurants. They always have good hummus. Cheap deli or cafe sometimes have good, but that's rare.

Pita City Falafel 180 7th Ave. Btwn 20th and 21st

This hummus is the best in New York! The owner gave me this special plate for me! Tabuli( salad ), tomato, pesely, cucumber,and couscous. Hummus is very simple but tastes good! No garlic. The pita bread is very warm and chewy. I love all of the! I'll never forget the taste!

You'll never find better hummus than this place with cheaper price! I believe best hummus in New York is Pita City Falafel!

My Best Hummus in New York!

523 9th Ave　 At 39th St

This plate comes with hummus, babaganush(eggplant),sour cream, and flat bread! The top is papulica. I liked the black olives, too!

When I first went there with my friends, they had no hummus for brunch. I talked with the staff that I came to the restaurant for hummus, and when I went there next time, they remember me and served hummus before I orderd! Great service!!(laugh)

Cool restaurant. Busy around lunch time. Hummus had garlic taste. I liked other root vegetables better for hummus. Only lettuce is too weak for hummus. I think the pita bread is good. Bread is one of the most important part for hummus!

1307 3rd Ave　At 75th St

Candle Cafe is one of the famous vegan restaurant in New York. They had unique hummus, orange color! The staff said they put tarmeric in hummus, and that makes it yellowish. With persely, tabuli, and babaganuish!

At vegan or vegetarian restaurants, they have hummus for appetizer not for main dish. But hummus is volumy, so I recommend you to share with friends!

Healthy Cafe for athlets. You will see many autographs of cerebs. They start cooking when they get order, so the food is very fresh and warm! They cook fresh vegetables too. The hummus with garlic made me very energetic!!

8th Ave, btwn 23&24 st

Yummy and cheap! Only $4.00. The hummus comes with fresh tomato and lettuce. The harmony is perfect...!

One day, when I was having lunch there, bunch of tourists from Arab or somewhere from middle east came in and started chatting. Only word I could catch was hummus...(laugh)

109st Marks PL(East village)

If you are hummus lover, you must check! Very artistic hummus! The plate comes with pita bread, pickles, and olives. I liled their lemonade too!

Look at the hummus! So beautiful! But don't hesitate to mess it up with your pita bread! Just enjoy hummus! So good!

99 MacDougal st

Sister restaurant. This hummus comes with a boiled egg and other beans. The persely enhances the looking! Their hot sauce was good. That was made of persely, coliandar, and lemon juice.

I found a cafe named "Chick Pea!" The cafe looked so cute. You can see the picture here.（Happy Hummus life in New York）　

The hummus had too much tanihi and less garlic. I wanted to eat it with some vegetables.

38 th st. 7th Ave.

Cosi is like starbucks coffee cafe, but little more expensive. They have hummus sandwich with panini Italian bread, sliced tomato, onion, cucumber, and fresh bazil!
Cosi has interesting sandwiches, like beef sandwich with wasabi, etc. You can find cosi easily, so enjoy at unbusy one!

23rd st. Btwn 7th & 8th Ave

Creamy hummus with tomato, sliced lettuce and pita bread. Too much hummus. I could feel the gravity...(laugh) The seasoning was very simple. Not spicy.

I realized Kosher food has very plain hummus. I guess it's because of the religion..not sure though. I like spicy hummus better.

38th Btwn 7-8 Ave

My first hummus in New York! I was soooo happy! This hummus is with tomato and cucumber. Less lemon taste.

I was so happy that I talked with the staff, "I came here for hummus from Japan!!" They were glad with surprise and they let me in. I also got free falafel! Hummus brings happiness! (laugh)

27th st, Btwn 7&8th Ave

By the fashion industry institute, and the cafe is packed with the students. The hummus is a rap style with lettuce, tomato, and carrot. Hummus was too plain.

You can enjoy watching people. They are fashionable. I just pretended to be a student. That was fun!

8519-4th Ave Brooklyn, NY 11209

This hummus had lots of tahini. I didn't like the pita bread because it was dry. The persely looked good. I really think freshness is the most important thing!

513 2nd Ave Btwn 28th & 29th

When I went there, they were not ready yet. I just got hummus and pita bread. I was supposed to get tomato and cucumber. I guess they use canned chickpeas, not boiled ones.
It's easy to find hummus in New York, but it's not to find good ones. Enjoy your food trip, and if you find good ones, you are so lucky! If you can't, you are still lucky because you still lot of possibilities to see great hummus in the world!! Don't you think so?
