Simply, a dosa is a pancake made from rice flour and black lentils. You can read various foodie odes to the Indian staple and fill your head with more information than is probably necessary; what you really want to do is fill your guts with a dosa from N.Y. Dosas, a food cart usually posted up at Washington Square South at Sullivan Street.

Thiru Kumar, a man gifted in the culinary arts and the art of mustache growing, fills the handmade rava masala dosas with potatoes and vegetables before dressing them with a sweet coconut chutney. Try the lentil soup; it'll keep you warm through whatever round of snowpocalypse we're facing. For $5, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better meal. And you can show all the NYU students huddled around that with your sophisticated vegetarian taste you're just as stuck up as them.
