This year's Vendy Award for New York's best street food went to "Dosa Man" Thiru Kumar, who serves up all-vegan Stri-Lankan style crepes at Washington Square South. He won despite Grub Street's Odds on the event. Kumar came in second the last two years (last year to Samiul Haque Noor, from Sammy’s Halal). Other finalists this year included Veronica Julien of Veronica’s Kitchen (Trinidadian/Jamaican cuisine at Front and Pine Street), Muhammed Rahman from Kwik Meal (Bengali-spiced Middle Eastern food at 46th St and 6th Ave), Super Taco (96th St and Broadway), and Farez (Freddy) Zeideia, the King of Falafel and Shawarma (Middle-eastern style street food, 30th St and Broadway, Astoria).
