Cheap Eats 2006

Cash or check only.Join the line in front of cramped 'n' quirky Nicholas Restaurant. Housemade pita is the secret of this longtime favorite Lebanese spot. Try it wrapped around succulent marinated beef in a shawarma sandwich that's a taste of greasy heaven ($6.50). It also serves as a base for deliciously inventive "pizzas"�the vegan manakish ($4.25), topped with a sesame-seed-studded spice blend may make you renounce your standard 'za. Or use the pita to scoop up some classic hummus and garlicky tzatziki on one of the mezza platters ($8.25). (MW)
