I plan to visit New York City within the next two years and I really want to know what the quality of the restaurants and nightlife is there. I also want to know the best restaurants and nightclubs there. I’m vegetarian and I’m also into organic food. Is NYC great for vegetarian restaurants, organic restaurants and organic food stalls? Also, are there nightlife curfews there?
I look forward to your replies.
Yes, NYC is a great place for vegetarian and organic (and locally sourced) food. I’m also vegetarian and can think of the following great vegetarian restaurants offhand: Gobo, Dirt Candy (this place is really great), Vatan, Angelica Kitchen, Kate’s Joint, Counter, Blossom, Zen Palate, Red Bamboo, Pure Food and Wine. And then there are the vegetarian and veggie-friendly ethnic restaurants (especially Indian), some super pizza places (there’s been a resurgence in artisan pizzamaking here the past few years) and even a few street carts (especially the dosa cart at Washington Square Park).
And most of the good-quality restaurants have solid, thoughtfully prepared vegetarian options. So you can not only eat veggie here, but eat *really* well with great, innovative and interesting dishes all over the place.
