NYC is the mother land of food diversity. Whether you're gluten free, paleo, vegan, raw-vegan, sugar free, juicing, eat only purple items, or anything in between, you have come to food paradise. NYC is a special place where a vegan does not have to order only lettuce leaves at a restaurant. Here are a few NYC vegan places you must try.
The Vspot.
This restaurant has all Latin American food. Though, Latin food is all about the meat and dairy, this restaurant does a fantastic job at replacing those cruelty induced ingredients while still maintaining an authentic Latin flavor. You'll find all your cravings more than satisfied without any added cruelty.
Candle 79.
Feeling a fancy aesthetic? Then go make a trip up to the Upper East Side and enjoy macadamia nut cheese ravioli or a chimichurri-portobello steak.
by CHLOE.
Craving a classic American lunch? Not only will your taste buds receive a thrill from these mouth-watering classics, but the clean plating aesthetic will give your eyes a treat as well.
Beyond Sushi.
There's nothing better than a plethora of fresh vegetables neatly packaged into cute bite-size chunks. At only $6.89 per roll, these sushi bites are a steal.
Rockin Raw.
This restaurant serves an array of items and exemplifies the true potential food has, as all their dishes are fully raw. (No, they don't just serve salads.)
Dunwell Donuts.
Have a sweet tooth? This place was NYC's first all vegan doughnut shop. With 52 flavors to choose from, ranging from the classics like jelly, to more funky flavors such as rose with dark lavender, you are bound to find at least one delicious donut satisfying your taste buds.
Erin McKenna's Bakery.
Not quite craving donuts? This bakery has all possible desserts such as cupcakes, cookies, cake, brownies and more! Additionally this bakery caters to almost all allergens. Every item is gluten free, soy free and vegan! Oh, my!
DF Mavens.
Or maybe you just want some classic ice cream? DF Mavens has coconut, almond and soy based ice cream. With so many cream hand crafted ice cream flavors to choose from, you're guaranteed to love one.
Each of these food places are completely vegan. Their creativity and innovation proves that food can be cruelty free and environmentally friendly, while still maintaining the tradition and flavors many people associate with these classics. Whether you're vegan or a carnivore, I recommend everyone attempt to experience the unique magic of these food products.
