NY Dosas
Food Court or Street Vendor
Indian (Southern)
All vegan South Indian food in Washington Square Park
NY Dosas, commonly called simple "Dosa Man", is an all-vegan street cart at the corner of Sullivan Street and Washington Square South on NYU's campus.
A masala dosa with sambar and coconut chutney is $4. Other varieties of dosas are offered, as well as a curry with fake meat, samosas for $1, and vegan chicken drumsticks for $1.
Dosa Man is usually there Monday through Saturday, 11 until 4, although some days he doesn't show up and other days he runs out of food and closes early.
NY Dosas is at the south edge of Washington Square Park, by the corner of Washington Square South and Sullivan Street.
The W. 4th St. (A,B,C,D,E,F,V), 8th St. (R,W), and Astor Place (6) subway stations are all within a few blocks.

I love this guy. Delicious and cheap vegan food. You can't go wrong with a dosa and a drumstick. The only problem is that you get SO much packaging for each meal (plate, fork, cup for soup, cups for sauces, etc.). However, he'll let you bring your own dishes and serve you on those. (-:
Unfortunately, he sometimes goes days or weeks at a time without being there (usually when he's busy catering or something), so have a back up plan. Madras Mahal on 2nd Ave between 4th and 5th street is probably the closest veg Indian place.
***NOTE***
If you just want a samosa, drumstick, or other quick, fried item, you can get it from the take-out window in front of the cart and don't have to wait in line (which is often quite long), which is for food that needs to be cooked, i.e. dosas, curries, etc.
WOW!
I stumbled upon this gem of a street vendor one day as I was walking past Washington Square park. I saw a little sign that said "VEGAN" and I was off like a shot. The man behind the scenes is a real sweetheart and willing to answer any questions about what things are if you're ignorant about the menu. They have awesome drumsticks that have a little sugar cane "bone" in the middle and everything. Its also pretty darn reasonable.
DEFINITELY worth a try if you're in the WSP area!
this is an amazing lunch too. It is on the heavy side.. but it is suppose to be.
