Due to their dietary restrictions, vegetarians all too often miss out on the hallowed tradition of eating lunch with coworkers and talking about the coworkers who aren't there. Today's deal gives herbivores and herbivoyeurs a fast, healthy lunchtime option the whole office can enjoy: for $3, you get $6 worth of quick-service vegetarian fare and drinks at Maoz Vegetarian. This Groupon is good for all four Maoz locations: Union Square, Times Square, East Village, and the Upper West Side.
Maoz is most famous for its expansive salad bar, but its falafel ($4.95)—a home-baked pita bread filled with crispy, handmade balls of vitamin-rich chickpeas, fresh spices, and vegetables—lends itself better to a leisurely lunchtime eat-and-amble through the nearest park. You can build off the falafel's delicious base with a splash of hummus, eggplant, baba ganoush, avocado, and more ($0.50–$1/add). Pair it with Belgian fries and sauce, side salad, sweet potato fries, or seasonal soup ($3–$4), and wash it all down with fresh-squeezed orange juice.
This Groupon is valid for delivery at Union Square, Times Square, and Upper West Side. Delivery is not offered at East Village (NYU).

Groupon Says
Vegetarianism and You
You can enjoy the vegetarian fare at Maoz without embracing a full vegetarian lifestyle, but if the planty treats entrance you, switching over is certainly worth thinking about. Here are some perks of a vegetarian lifestyle:
- Elevator rides with cows much less awkward.
- No more long lines at the meat or spleen counters.
- Potato and tomato rhyme, making dinnertime songwriting a snap!
- Low risk of tobacco-style ‘gotcha!’ revelations from future Surgeon Generals.
- Tazing chickens becomes fun instead of work.
