| | | | | | Tristan's cooking! Nom nom! I like vegetarian food. Or some of it. But every now and then when I eat at a highly praised vegetarian restaurant I can't tell if I have to be a vegetarian to fully appreciate it. "Vegetarians love this place, thus I CAN TOO! I...can...I...want a pork chop.&qu... Read More | | | | | | Oh my god! I came on a Thursday evening by myself and it was *packed*. I sat at the bar and ordered a sauteed broccoli appetizer and one of the daily specials: a southwestern tofu wrap. The broccoli came out steamed, but it didn't take long for me to get the attention of the waitress and she quickly... Read More | | | | | | I've been disappointed with Candle Cafe in the past (maybe because I love Candle 79 so much) but their new menu for the spring changed that for me today. First of all, they use Teese (Tease?) vegan cheese now so you don't have to worry about the unvegan soy cheese anymore. My boyfriend got the... Read More | | | | | | This friendly spot has long been a go-to favorite for vegetarians and omnivores alike. Start with Steamed Spinach Dumplings or Citrus Herb-Marinated Seitan Skewers, then sink your teeth into satisfying entrées like Tuscan Lasagna w/ Basil Ricotta & Seiten Ragout, or the aptly named Paradise...

(212) 475-9190 www.teany.com This Lower East Side café is a serene haven for tea drinkers, vegans and vegetarians alike, though one of its biggest draws is the tempting array of sweets.

Or one of those machete-scythes they wield in the jungle and he starts cutting. You get the point. I’m talking about grass, here, wheatgrass, specifically. The kind you drink for health purposes.... Read More | | | | | | Hey Champurrado, how 'bout a little history lesson. You're probably too young to remember when Candle Cafe opened they were a complete rip off of Angelica Kitchen. From the Lasagna to the Carrot apple snap, to the nori rolls, the Mezze plate, the Soba salad is based off Angelika's udon noodle salad... Read More | | | | | | On my first trip to New York, i went to several vegan eateries and Cafe Blossom was the definite leader. Service was fast, the staff was very friendly, the food was beautifully prepared and served, and was excellent. I highly recommend the Black Eyed Pea Cake for starters. I also notice that se...

A large piece of home-made chocolate beet cake for breakfast, a container of yoghurt, a frozen burrito, and an oatmeal cookie for lunch, and a small b... Read More | | | | | | In summation: tasty food, boring location, moderate-to-high prices. I had a cajun seitan sandwich that was very, very similar to the one over at candle cafe. Nothing wrong with that, it tasted good. A generous portion of sweet potato fries were also provided, which was nice, except that I order... Read More | | | |
