NY Dosas

NY Dosas is a street cart in Washington Square Park that serves thin rice and lentil crepes filled with various vegetable mixtures. Each crepe comes with coconut chutney and sambar, which are traditional side sauces from South Indian cooking.

The cart opened in 2001 and began operations during a significant moment in New York City's history. This early establishment helped it grow and become recognized in the local street food community over the following years.

The cart represents Tamil South Indian cuisine in Manhattan, and it has become a place where people encounter traditional recipes prepared fresh on the street. Visitors notice how the preparation happens in full view, making the cooking itself part of the experience.

The cart operates regularly in Washington Square Park and takes cash payments from customers. It is best to visit early in the day or during lunch hours when crowds are heavier.

The cart was started by someone who brought traditional recipes from his region and adapted them for New York customers. This combination of authentic flavors with a local street location drew people who might otherwise never try such food.
