| - Welcome the neighborhood, the Goodwich! https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Goodwich/1375892382662303
This is a fun concept, in a historic location, with unique offerings. It is run by locals with a pedigree [check out http://dtlv.com/2014/01/29/get-ready-to-meet-and-eat-the-goodwich/] and it is definitely a destination worth checking out.
I had the "deconstructed" falafel sandwich. You heard me right: falafel SANDWICH, not pita pocket. With a falafel paddy, not falafel balls, and kale slaw on marbled RYE bread.
Definitely not your mother's take on falafel.
The cons: even though the sandwich was made to order, it was cold when it arrived and the kale slaw was runnier than I otherwise would have liked.
The pros: Locally owned and managed, quality ingredients, intriguing location full of local history and quintessential Las Vegas neighbors such as Olympic Gardens, Dino, Clay Arts Vegas, and the Arepas restaurants that made its reputation in the same kiosk. And this restaurant team really cares and live in the downtown Las Vegas neighborhood.
Whatever cons I experienced easily could be attributed to the fact that the restaurant is still sorting things out. It has not even opened yet officially.
And given the ingredients and unique offerings, the prices of $3-$9 for the sandwich, is a steal!!
I even talked with Josh about doing a community fundraiser in June, http://www.utwnow.org/host-utw-day-party/ .. more on that later :)
I am definitely a fan and I definitely will go back often!
