I was looking for a comfortable place to enjoy lunch outside while working, and I came across this place. The owner was over the top nice and welcoming. He has been out here for at least 10 years. He took a risk and went with his gut, and BOOM, this best place, in my opinion, for some good wraps, bowls of fast middle eastern food. If vegan, Make sure you say that; they got vegan options as well.

It's worth the trip. That is all I am going to say. Now it's up to you if you want to just take me on my word. all I am going to say is make sure you get there early enough so you don't have to wait 1-2 hours.

Sightseeing
If the weather is nice and you have time. This place is wonderful and a nice hike. It is not steep, very moderate, somewhat rocky when you go off trail and cross into another. They make it easy for you. If you start with the red trail along the way, you will notice red tags on trees or yellow. When you get to the fall, make sure you walk up the stairs. It is worth the view.

Neighborhoods
Just a short ride away by the path train or a uber or Lyft. Try to make your way to the Hudson River waterfront walkway. The best way I can get you is by using an address I always plug into my GPS. Welp, here it is. Enjoy 110 Sinatra Dr. Hoboken, NJ 07030. Once there, you can walk around and see the area. Nice kid park nearby if you are traveling with little ones.
