Does Taim count? It's way on the west side. I forgot what street it was on. I had Yagatan and thought it was too sour.

Taim is on West 4th, near Charles.

I find their falafel overrated. The balls are so small that they crisp all over. No soft center.

Ali-Baba across from Mahmouns (sp?). It's not amazing but I worked 5 blocks away and got to know the guy there. He would always make fresh falafel for me and that's the all the difference. Plus there was never a line like Mahmouns.

thanks--the Mamoun's on St. Mark's makes the falafel fresh every time I have ordered it and it really makes a difference--I ate a falafel on Mac Dougal which was pretty good but the falafel balls were dry inside-(probably refried and not so fresh)can't remember the name of the place tho-

which is your favorite catzeem??

Very subjective, you can try them all one afternoon for about $10 total and decide for yourself. Just eat half of each and walk to the next. I did it one warm afternoon & stick to me favorite place now.
