The transition from hearty, beefy foods to seemingly lackluster vegetarian chow can be challenging and almost cruel to our hungry palates :)
But let's not fret this season of Lent - because when you venture into the NYC outdoors, a satisfying vegetarian meal is anything but a challenge to find. And NO, I am not saying that we enter into those mainly meat-based restaurants and sit down for a meal made up of slimy salad juices and silly-looking sides!
There are many fantastic places that will serve a generous vegetarian meal that consists of almost all the flavors that one's gastric senses would crave for. And yeah while they are not abundant, fortunately I have been able to discover a bunch of what's not only the best but also the super affordable ones :)
(In the Village):
Counter
Sacred Chow
Café Himalaya
Red Bamboo
Gobo
Hummus Place
(Uptown):
Candle 79
Josie's
Peacefood Café
Maoz
(New places still to be tried):
Quartino (Roman Trattoria - Noho)
Taim (Middle Eastern - West Village)
Mundo Café (Turkish - Astoria)
And as I'd like to think, a touch of velvety fish here and a spattering of meaty broth there won't hurt our abstinence routine much :)
