While I am a total omnivore, this post got me to thinking about my favorite spots in New York, and I realized how many of them are veg*n. I live in Brooklyn, so I wanted to make recommendations for those of us living in/visiting the outer boroughs, rather than only those in Manhattan that people tend to visit more often.

First of all, I can’t recommend Rawstar highly enough. It’s right around the corner from my apartment (Prospect Heights) and I eat there ALL THE TIME. I’ve ordered from there with friends who would never even consider vegan/raw eating and they’ve loved it too.

Another is Foodswings (Williamsburg), which is great for what the owners call “vegan fast food.” Loads of comfort foods, plus open late, so an awesome place to stop for ‘junk’ food on the way home from a night out.

Bliss (also Williamsburg) is one of my favorite vegetarian brunch places (with lots of vegan offerings as well). Try the tempeh bacon or the french toast.

Anyway, just wanted to give some love to the veg*n spots off the beaten path that don’t usually get much recognition!

Great interview, can’t wait to read the book! I recently moved to the NY area and am still exploring, but so far I’ve really enjoyed Gobo (West Village location) and One Lucky Duck.

I saw that book for sale at Cosmic Cantina in the East Village on our last trip. (Cosmic Cantina is a newly-gone-vegetarian-all-organic burrito hot spot with plenty of vegan options and homemade tortillas – and they’re open til like 3 or 5 am! – can’t remember which.) Anywhoo! I saw it there and flipped through it and thought, “AWESOME!”

Cheers XOXO,
Kristen

Sorry you’re not feeling well Gena! Remember that sleep is a big part of the immunity/health equation- that’s my experience anyway! I was so bummed to get sick in July but ecstatic that it fell just after my first 365 continuous days of health! Thanks for another great post and enjoy some rest!

Great interview Gena. I wish I lived in NYC to experience such great restaurants. I am so happy to see the trend in restaurants too! I am luckily enough to live in an area with many great farmers and restaurants who use local produce!!! I think Pure Food and Wine would be my favorite place, I can not wait till I get a chance to eat there! I feel Sarma is an amazing person and chef!

I love your interview. The writing was really good. It reminded me of something that would be in a magazine. Thanks!

My favorite is Angelica Kitchen! It’s so cozy and homey and earthy and I’m surprised I have not seen it mentioned yet!

I love the idea of this book because I find it so challenging to dine out in New York sometimes because of all the social worries and menu-deficiencies. I love that there is a book out there that acknowledges this and makes me feel less high-maintenace!

Thanks for being here,
Julia
