The (Non-Dairy) Cream of the Crop: #3 NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Residents in the Big Apple are enjoying more apples (and other meatless fare) than ever. In a city where both McDonalds and Burger King sell veggie burger and falafel is available from sidewalk vendors, you'd understand why the tune of "I Love New York" is especially true for vegetarians. As the cultural melting pot of the world, veg-friendly bites can be found at ethnic restaurants featuring cuisines such as Ethiopian, Japanese, and Middle Eastern in every one of the five boroughs of New York. But the true highlight for the millions of New Yorkers and tourists is the more than 80 restaurants and eateries that serve absolutely no flesh.
These vegetarian and vegan places dish up American, Caribbean, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Korean, Raw, Soul, and fusion cuisines featuring mock meats such as crispy soul "chicken" and Cajun fried "shrimp", gourmet dishes such as seitan piccata and tofu quiche, and simple fares such as club sandwiches and vegan pancakes. For those who crave decor and atmosphere, veggie restaurants can be found in the form of a 24 hour diner, celebrity hang-out, swanky cafe, bustling bistro, and even a former White Castle building. But the sweetness of it all can be truly savored at the all-vegan bakeries and eateries featuring vegan pastries, soft serve, and ice cream. And did we mention New York City also has several vegetarian grocery stores and a vegan shoe store?
