September 1, 2008
The travel issue, includes a vegan walking tour of NYC by Rich Bebenroth, full of commentary and recommendations for making the most of a single vegan day in New York. The instructions included going with a friend and ordering less than one thing at each eating establishment so as to sample the most food. The following places (and other highlights that don’t have websites; buy the magazine) are all within a square mile section of the vegan-est city on earth:
Babycakes: a vegan, gluten-free cupcake bakery.
Lower East Side Tenement Museum: featuring an interesting gift shop.
Economy Candy: Bloom’s kosher candy is vegan.
Toys in Babeland: adult toys, not for viewing at work.
TeaNY: vegetarian tea house.
Moo Shoes: aforementioned cute vegan shoes.
Bluestockings: radical bookstore and vegan, fair trade café.
Tiengarden: vegan Chinese.
Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery: mostly vegan. See Wikipedia for Knishes.
Kate’s Joint: vegan greasy diner and bar. Appears not to have a website besides MySpace.
Life Café: as seen in Rent.
Crif Dogs: again with the MySpace. Hotdog place that makes vegan hotdogs.
Whole Earth Bakery: all vegan, online reviews complain of it being too healthy.
A row of vintage toy shops!
Atlas Café and Bakery: to quote supervegan.com, “The vegan soft serve ice cream… and the vegan crêpes also make this a popular destination.”. I can believe it.
May Wah Healthy Vegetarian Food: mock meat emporium, if you were needing one. Vegetarian Kidney? (”No”).
Vegetarian Dim Sum House: more veg Chinese.
Peanut Butter & Co: link is to their “White Chocolate Wonderful” peanut butter, which is SO AMERICAN and somehow vegan.
Sacred Chow: kosher-vegan bistro. Just downloaded their menu in PDF and can’t get past the weekend brunch menu, it all sounds amazing. Advice from the vegan eating tour: “Try to save room for a brownie sundae.” Okay.
the Dosa Man in Washington Square Park: street vendor of dosas.
Red Bamboo: they mark the things on their menu that aren’t vegan. Lots of fake meat, but lots of vegetables too.
I may need to start dieting tomorrow to save space for all the desserts.
