01. Combo Plate at Lebanese Pita Pocket
The Lebanese Pita Pocket truly is a hidden gem. Because it’s tucked away in a plaza where it’s “hard” to see from Route 6, it often gets overlooked. I’m not sure how long this family has been operating there, but I’ve been going there for a decade easily. It’s a shame how overlooked this place is, because the food there is phenomenal.
The menu has a lot of options, but if you get one of the combo plates ($9.25), you get to pick a “main” and two sides. If you make that main, their mouth-watering, cooked to perfection Falafel, and make those two sides the tabouleh and the chick pea salad, you just got yourself a completely vegetarian/vegan meal. I can’t tell you how amazing this combination is – you have to have it. Tell your boyfriend that Falafel is Lebanese for “meatballs.” He’ll never know.
Oh, for good measure throw in the grape leaves, which are out of this world good, or some of their made from scratch hummus. Of course, you have to complete this perfect meal with some Baklava.
