Chickpea used to be St Marks Pizza, and its name was the result of contest run by the location's owners. (The winner received $2,500.) Its a pita/falafel/hummus place with fabulous, fresh, and (most important to me) inexpensive food. Your basic falafel is served on a fresh-baked pita and is just $3.20. Just around the corner from Kim's.
