ON-THE-GO OPTIONS
Singas Famous Pizza
Skip the pizza and opt for the Bombay street nosh known as frankies. Warm paratha bread swaddles a variety of fillings like cheese ($5.50) and potato ($4.50), making the wraps easy to eat on the run. 176 Second Ave between 11th and 12th Sts (212-253-7300)
Gazala Place
Each day, chef-owner Gazala Halabi prepares fresh cornmeal-flecked flatbread at her Israeli-Druze restaurant. It’s perfect as a base for a pie topped with ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts ($4.95), or stuffed with delicate falafel ($3.50). 709 Ninth Ave between 48th and 49th Sts (212-245-0709)
The Islands
To save time, call your order into this tight Jamaican café before swinging by to pick it up. Try small platters of tender jerk chicken ($8) and goat stew ($9) that come with enough rice and beans to sate any hunger, without breaking the bank. 803 Washington Ave between Eastern Pkwy and Lincoln Pl, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (718-398-3575)—Daniel Gritzer
