In a city as diverse as NYC, good falafel isn’t hard to find. You can hit up almost any corner and find a halal truck that has decent options. But we’re not looking for decent, we’re looking for next-level, mind-blowing deliciousness that’s actually affordable. Join host Cody Reiss as he takes us to the dankest falafel spot in Brooklyn for the cheapest lunch our duckets can buy. We’re going to a local, hidden gem that’ll satisfy all your falafel desires -- Oasis in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Self-described as Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, Oasis is serving up the tastiest falafel sandwiches and shawarma plates and we’re showing you why. That is, after all, why Thrillist is your go-to, be all end all, for food recommendations. You know the rules: We’ve only got $5, so we need to make every penny count... and we’ve definitely got you covered.
Thrillist is bringing back its popular cheap-eats show, but bigger and better than ever with three new hosts. Every week, we’ll explore all the best places to eat (that actually taste good) for under $5, and not a penny more. This season, we’re taking it beyond just New York City and traveling to Washington, DC and the San Francisco Bay to show you where to get the best bang for your buck. So if you need a break from the expensive, the chains, or you’re just looking for new places to try in your city, this is the show for you. Welcome to “$5 Lunch.”
