No camera at NY Dosas (Dosa Man cart) yet — these are the closest live lines we cover.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at NY Dosas (Dosa Man cart) yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
NYU News (Washington Square News) reports "a huge line all the time" at the cart, with the line already 20 people deep roughly 40 minutes after opening. The line continues to grow through the hour, per the same report, reflecting steady, sustained demand rather than a brief rush.
The cart's popularity is tied to its status as the first vegan South Indian food cart in the area, run by owner Thiru Kumar since 2001, according to NYU News. Its 2007 Vendy Award win for best street food vendor has reinforced its reputation as a must-try, further feeding the line.
