Jamaican curry goat went for eight dollars a plate, while a few feet away, falafel, humus and tabouli sizzled at the Sabra Grill; chicken masala from the Diva Indian Bistro and Thai fried rice rounded out a mix of ethnic dishes...
...strikes ever since its air force last week assassinated the military commander of Hamas in a Gaza air raid that also killed 14 Palestinian civilians. On Tuesday, Israeli security forces had foiled two planned attacks, but a third bomber managed to injure a handful of civilians at a Jerusalem falafel stand.

I wondered whether to buy a new car radio at Taj Mahal Stereo or at the place that advertises WORLD LARGEST SPEAKER SELECTIONS--SE HABLA ESPANOL. Then lunch: Dim sum, falafel or Tex-Mex tortillas? Hell, let's go for a carnivorous selection from the food cart that sells hot dogs, gyros, shish kebabs and Italian sausages, all of them--so the Egyptian in charge claimed--guaranteed halal. "Food for every nationality!" he told...
