Saigon Shack
Student-priced pho on MacDougal Street
In brief
A small Vietnamese restaurant in Greenwich Village, a few blocks from the university — a fast, cheap neighbourhood workhorse on a street given over to tourist bars, and it claims nothing more. No reservations, and a queue forms at peak hours.
Compiled from public sources — not my own note.
Good to know
- Around four in the afternoon is the calm window.
- MacDougal Street is chaotic at weekends.
- They may ask for cash — worth checking as you go in.
