Several subway stations across New York City will test out replacing their traditional newsstands with high-tech vending machines. This summer, vending machines will replace the classic newsstands at eight stations in the city. The MTA says it had trouble filling vacant newsstands in recent years and they are not doing the same kind of business they once did. The machines will offer products such as travel-sized toiletries, ear buds, phone chargers and on-the-go snacks.

King of Falafel & Shawarma is a local middle eastern food restaurant in Astoria, Queens with three food trucks, all of which serve up some of the best falafel in all of New York City. In this profile video from our friends at Munchies, meet Freddy Zeideia, the "King of Falafel."

King of Falafel & Shawarma has been serving mouthwatering Middle Eastern cuisine on the streets of Astoria for the last 17 years. The falafel recipe, with its unique oval shape, is a guarded secret of owner Freddy Zeideia, who mastered it with techniques he learned while growing up in Palestine. After being dissatisfied with the falafel and shawarma offerings in New York, Freddy took matters into his own hands by starting King of Falafel & Shawarma in 2002. Since then, his enterprise has grown, with a truck in Astoria, a cart in Midtown, and a newly opened restaurant in Queens.
