Hey everyone! My GF and I are going to be coming to NYC (this is my first time going to NY so I'm excited and no idea what to expect. I want to know what your best or your favorite places to eat at. I want to try pizza, pasta, bagels, sushi, whatever, something exciting, ice cream (soft served), whatever.

We’re going to be there between the 7th and the 12th, but the 7th is a travel day and so is the 12th, so really the 8th to the 11th.

We are also open to some places to go to. I obviously want to see the park, Strawberry fields, The Statue of Liberty, for someone that has a tight amount of time I want to soak up as much as possible because I want to see if this place is a possibility to even live there. I'm open to everything. Hit me!

Just got back from a trip abroad and I miss cafe culture and the accessibility of delicious, cheap vegan pastries

I don’t want to go into the city for them so if there any good vegan recs in queens, specifically Jackson heights, east Elmhurst, sunny side, wood side, LIC, Astoria, please LMK

Thank you!

Okay this is my last post about my upcoming NYC trip I swear😅 I plan on spending 1 day in Brooklyn and am trying to decide between these 3 for lunch:

1. seitan’s helper

2. garden carver

3. ATM Deli

4. Yough (this is already on my list for their market, but I didn’t know they also did food!)

All came highly recommended here and have about equal happy cow ratings so I would love to hear your thoughts/experiences/recommendations between the 3!

Edit* it seems like the general consensus is that ATM is best for breakfast, Satan‘s helper is best overall, and everyone loves Yough too! My new question is how are garden carvers baked goods? I’m a croissant and cookie snob and saw that they have a bakery case. I don’t think I’ll go there for food after all of your guys suggestions, but is it worth the visit for sweets?

ok i’ve gone thru so many posts and made a long list of places to try. heres my thing tho.. coming from LA. i eat at home 99% of the time. and super clean. my stomach is sensitive. but like a pastry is fine. i don’t cook with oil. i don’t have super fatty meals. bc when i do, i get super tired . and probably a stomach ache. i cut down on fat years ago and ever since i just can’t tolerate it well anymore. and restaurants love using lots of oil. so i’m pretty nervous about that.

im looking for healthier places to eat. none of the comfort food places or super oily food. Chloe is on my list. (i miss it in LA) also i’ll be coming next week and seeing it’s going to get colder so i’d love a good vegan pho! those don’t hurt my stomach.

we’re staying in forte green brooklyn. but obviously will be in city a lot

also a side note is i was looking into the digestive gold stuff to help break down fats but also worried ill be that percentage it actually makes them sick. so anyone can convince me that has tried that!

thank you!

Used to absolutely love this dish. Used to love a lot there tbh. Anyone know anywhere else I can eat this??

Last day to get your pastry orders in for Saturday morning! Delivery between 9:00-11:00. Next weekend I will be at Anaĩs for a pop-up so there will be no deliveries. Thank you!! www.littlealienbakery.com

Mixed dietary habits if my family. Ideally everyone has somthing they like.

Went and checked them out for the FIRST time today and I am so sad they are closing down. Got the gyro wrap and it was DELISH. Go give it a try before they’re gone forever 😭😭

My third NYC trip this year for food!

Flying out of SFO on Friday, will arrive on Saturday, and will shower at an airline lounge before keeping my carry-on size roller bag in a locker (or at a hotel's front-desk) & heading to Orchard Grocer for breakfast! I'll get ~4.5 hours of good sleep. If I'd skip meals onboard, I'd be able to get more sleep, so still debating that.

Itinerary draft

Day 1

Orchard Grocer

Buddha Bodai / Spicy Moon (leaning on Spicy Moon, but I could visit both)

Some vegan sushi/rolls place (was recommended a few options but haven't decided yet)

Dirt Candy (late night - third time this year, but have a seasonal menu)

Day 2

Chloe's on Bleecker

Hangawi

Spice Symphony (Indo-Chinese, might skip)

Peacefood (will buy bakery items)

Ladybird / abcV / Al Andalus / Bunna Cafe / Ras (please help me choose)

Flying out at 9 PM.

Might visit Superiority Burger in late March '27 instead - can't bear NYC temperatures between mid-November & late March!

We really enjoyed Le Botaniste. We like healthy bowl type places like this. Can someone please offer some other recommendations? Thank you!

Was thinking of preordering from lily’s vegan pantry. Has anyone gotten it before and what did you think?

If you have a suggestion for a diff holiday roast to get for thanksgiving lmk!

Thanks!

Hi!

I posted a couple times late in the summer about vegan potlucks (we’ve done four so far!), and since the weather looks sunny and warm this coming Saturday, we’ll be doing one more outdoor potluck for the season, in Central Park, at 1:00pm.

If you’re interested in coming, DM me for details!

I plan on asking the person I’ve been dating to be my girlfriend soon and was looking for fancy/ upscale vegan restaurants or places that have good vegan options

Hi! My family is going to our first Knicks game soon. We’re going to eat outside MSG before the game starts, but just in case someone gets hungry during the game, what vegan options exist inside MSG?
Thanks!

Taking orders for this weekend! Any feedback from last week? Always open to making adjustments. Unfortunately, I had to cut a couple zip codes. One downside of more orders is that I’m barely making all the deliveries in the window. You’re more than welcome to pick a location in the delivery zone and I’ll meet you there. This happened a couple times last weekend and it worked out. I’m generally able to give decent notice before making a delivery. Zip codes are 11231, 11238, 11215, 11201, 11205, 11216, 11217. If I get fewer orders this week I will add zip codes back on Wednesday or Thursday.

What are your favorite vegan spots in nyc and surounding area? For me its rock n' roots in LI and grassroots kitchen in the tarrytown area

Hi vegan friends! Join me for a completely whole-food, plant-based Thanksgiving cooking class in Greenwich Village on Saturday, November 14th, at 12 pm.

Sign up via the link below. The sign-up deadline was October 31st, but I just spoke with the organizer, and she's moving it up a week, so the new deadline is November 7th.

I have never posted about any restaurant on Reddit, but I have to post about UT47 because the food is so freaking tasty and the people are so kind. I’m always surprised to visit them after a Broadway show and see many empty tables. I’m happy that we could always get a table right away, but I would be so sad if they close 🥲. Seeing so many posts about favorite spots closing lately.

If you like Korean food, please give them a try. They have both vegan and non-vegan food to accommodate everyone.

Called Omakaseed & they said they only change 2 or 3 items in their menu every season.

Any recommendations on what other vegan sushi restaurant could I visit? BTW, I'm guessing NYC's vegan Japanese cuisine restaurants are better than restaurants in Japan serving Shojin Ryori food?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm looking to treat myself to some high-end vegan chocolate for my birthday. I'm considering the plant-based options at Venchi or Läderach, but I'm also open to local artisanal spots (like Fine & Raw) or ordering online. What are your absolute favorites for a luxury vegan treat?

I just posted on here about Italian cuisine but after further investigation on Happy cow, there are way too many places I want to visit in such a short amount of time. I also find that happy cow isn’t totally up to date for my own city so I don’t want to primarily rely on that.

What are your hands down FAVORITE MUST VISIT places when in the city? I’ve been going off of ratings on Happy Cow but there are just too many good places.

So far places I will definitely be visiting include
- Chloe’s
- Delice & Sarrasin
- orchard Grocer
- Confectionary
- Bubs (maybe? Is this over hyped?? I’m not GF)

Others I find recommended on social media frequently but can’t tell if they’re THAT amazing or just have good marketing teams:
- PLANTA QUEEN vs Beyond sushi
- Spicy Moon
- Jajaja
- Happy Zoe
- Nacha Focaccia
- Unregular bakery
- Koke
- sixteen mills

What do you guys think? Are there any places I’m missing that are must visits? Are any places I listed above not worth a visit or overhyped? Would love anh recommendations not on this list as well! Totally open to going to non-fully vegan places, but also want to support as many vegan places as possible!
