The street that never sleeps(visited the area)

What can I say about the historical McDougal Street, except that it really embodies the spirit of “The City that Never Sleeps.” Although most of the time you will find many NYU students loitering about the various 24hour cafes on McDougal street, it is often home to some of the city’s most colorful characters. A street seeped in cultural history, many of the restaurants boast such legendary visitors as Bob Dylan, and more recently Christ North, also known as “Mr. Big”.

The street is filled with various alcove-type shops which seem to change all the time, but is possibly most famous for its perpetually open “Mamoun’s”, which many say has the best falafel in the city. Furthermore, the street is lined with stores and services that are open 24hrs, including some cafes, restaurants, delis, and a pharmacy or two.
