My mom was in town this past week, which is the only reason I was able to afford dinner at HanGawi, but I am so grateful that I could.  This is easily one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in New York, and it's a dining experience unlike any I've…More »

Every time I go to Sacred Chow, I feel like the experience is better than the last; when my mom and I went for dinner yesterday, it was easily the best meal I've ever had there.  I don't know if I'm getting better at knowing what to order or if they…More »

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side

5.0 star rating
  9/4/2010

So, I'm vegan, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm pumped about gluten-free, super-healthy baked goods.  Sometimes, a girl just wants a greasy chocolate peanut butter chip cookie, you know what I mean?  I'd put off visiting Babycakes for at…More »

Lula's, you make my heart sing.  There is a rotating variety of outstanding vegan ice cream flavors here to suit every palate (although, I'll admit, I only ever get the cake batter soft serve with rainbow sprinkles, because I am secretly five years…More »

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side

5.0 star rating
  2/26/2012

I should have written a review for this place ages ago, because really, since my first experience at Cocoron, I haven't been able to think about any other noodles.  I guess I've been too busy daydreaming about the delicious meals I've had here to…More »

Sweetpea has vaulted to the top of my list of places to go when I am in Portland.  During my first trip here two years ago, I came to Sweetpea and was so charmed by the food, the ambiance and the staff; this past weekend, I found myself here again,…More »

It's official: I am obsessed with Venezuelan food.  My dreams are peppered with arepas and plantains, and whenever I am given the option, I drag my companions to the Arepas Cafe in Astoria [http://www.yelp.com/bi... for their delicious vegan-friendly…More »

As a former resident of Seattle, WA (and a frequent flyer at Mighty-O Donuts [http://www.yelp.com/bi...), I hold my vegan doughnuts to pretty high standards.  I've had more than my fair share of crumbly, oily doughnut impostors, and if it weren't for…More »

The Uptown Juice Bar has recently moved one block east and celebrated its grand reopening in this new, huge, clean, amazing space.  Things have changed a little bit -- it's buffet-style now, with everything available for $6.49/lb. (or $7.29/lb. if…More »

Full disclosure: I love vegetables.  I'm not a big fan of faux-meat, and at home, it's not uncommon for me to eat a heaping pile of green beans, kale, carrots, and sweet potatoes and call it dinner.  And I think Cafe Blossom does some of its best…More »

I was so thrilled to discover WaterCourse during a recent trip to Colorado.  We came here for Sunday brunch and were shocked that as early as 9am this place was packed -- a good sign that locals would drag themselves out of bed so early to get here…More »

I used to hang out in Northampton all the time when I lived in Massachusetts.  It's a cute, quirky little town full of great restaurants, local vendors, LGBT-friendly everything, and fun people.  Even after leaving the Bay State for dirtier pastures,…More »

I came to Montreal with three friends for a long weekend, and after eating our first meal at Aux Vivres, we honestly considered coming back here for every meal thereafter.  We were crazy about this place, from the food to the service to the ambiance,…More »

I know everyone seems to give this place a mixed review, but I am madly in love with the vegan soy "chicken" shawarma wrap.  Our love affair first began about a year ago, when I visited UC Berkeley, and there seriously isn't a week that has gone by…More »

My (surprise! birthday!) dinner at Kajitsu might be one of the most beautiful and flavorful meals I've ever had.  The only reservation available on a Thursday night was an early bird special at 5:45pm, but we took it, and we were nearly the only…More »

The Blossom empire is slowly expanding, and I, for one, am grateful for its inevitable takeover of Manhattan.  I'm a huge fan of the other restaurants in this family (Cocoa V, Cafe Blossom) so when V-Note popped up last month, a little closer to home…More »

Wow.  Just wow.

I've been to Grass Root three times in my life, and each time has been a really enjoyable experience.  I love supporting local, vegetarian businesses, and the folks at Grass Root really seem to be doing a good thing here.
