Downtown

Caravan of dreams
6th st. off 1st ave

• All organic vegan.
• A slight bit on the hippy side but super tasty food, lots of raw or "live" foods as well.

Curly's Vegetarian Lunch
14th Street b/t First and Second

• All-vegetarian diner food, all-day breakfast
• Smaller effort from the heroes who brought us (the now shuttered) Veg City Diner. The open-faced turkey sandwich has returned.

Red Bamboo
4th street off of 6th ave (website)

• All vegan specializing in the fake meat stuff.
• They also serve some Vegan Treats cakes as well as their own stuff. You'll be fucked up off of this place big time. -G
• This might be the best vegan food I've ever had. It's out of control. And the shakes... wow.
• So good in fact that we went back again!
• Absolutely unreal (in a good way!) chicken parm... be sure to get the veganized version, so you can be truly amazed. The mint chocolate chip soy ice cream (green!) is outstanding, as is the Oreo (vegan) Cheesecake (from Vegan Treats?). -ram

Vegetarian's Paradise 2
4th street off of 6th Ave.

• All vegan specializing in the fake meat stuff
• This place seems to own Red Bamboo and has a lot of the same menu so of course it's damn tasty.

Atlas (+m)
2nd ave. by 3th St.

• great vegan ice cream, soy cappachino, and other MEAL/snacks VEGAN TREATS cakes
• vegan crepes and desserts here ruled.

Burritoville (+m)
2nd ave. just below 9th + many other locations

• good vegan choices
  • Are you sure those "vegan choices" are really vegan? I think neither the soy sour cream nor the soy cheese are strictly vegan. I asked once, and was told "We don't have any vegan burritos." Thousandrobots 23:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, it was recommended to me by one of the strictest vegans I know.
• Tempeh "wrap" is unstoppable.

Uptown

Strictly Roots
West 122nd and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd (Seventh)

• Vegan soul food. Little place serving a buffet of outstanding TVP-based vegan meals. Fake beef and chicken are excellent. It's a la carte at about $2.50 to $3.50 per portion, so you'll end up spending around $15 for two people. - Thousandrobots

Candle 79
Candle Cafe

Vegan Stores

Moo Shoes
152 Allen Street (Manhattan)

• Wide selection of somewhat overpriced vegan shoes and accessories. For instance, besides the $100 sandals that got gross after a month, I once paid $24 for a vegan belt. A few weeks later, I found a similar one at Duane Reade for $5. No kidding. - Thousandrobots
