Good for special occasions and dates, this vegan restaurant is good enough to make even the grizzliest of carnivores rethink their eating habits. Definitely try the Seitan Piccata.
Enter Bemelmans in the Carlyle Hotel through an unassuming door off the lobby. Expensive drinks but one of the finest atmospheres in the city, complete with dim lighting and a piano player.
We're big fans of Turkish food and Beyoglu really hits the spot. Get the Doner kebab or the Iskender Kebab but save room for the bread!
Fresh and clean atmosphere and a must try even if you aren't vegetarian. Try the New England roll, spinach and soy cheese wontons, or the mini veggie burgers.
Good spot on the UES when your sweet tooth is craving some red velvet. Can't go wrong with any dessert here but you should definitely try the pumpkin cupcake.
A cozy little café that feels like something out of a small village in Europe. Good prices, great coffee, and even better sandwiches. Try one of the paninis if you don't believe us.
We're obsessed with their sheep's ricotta cheese and black truffle honey bruchetta. Don't think, just get it. Pair it with the gnocchi di ricotta and a wine by the glass for a perfect experience.
Get the pad kee mao. It's cheap, flavorful, and will satisfy your grumbling stomach. There's a wine store a block away if you'd like to BYOB as well.
Part wine bar, part vegan bistro. If you can only order one thing here, make sure it's the Roasted Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Gnocchi.
