The 14 Best Vegan Restaurants in New York City
"There's no need to break out your showpiece shoes at HanGawi as it's shoes-off at this traditional Korean restaurant. The low tables, aromatic Mt Jilee tea, and dark wood motifs feel like they’re not only from a different place, but also a different time. Compared to the boisterous karaoke bars and k-pop blasting restaurants, HanGawi is a rare pocket of quiet in one of New York’s busiest neighborhoods. And while Korean cuisine may be known for its savory sweet barbecue and sticky fried chicken, this establishment sets that all aside in favor of an entirely vegetarian menu. In order to tackle some of the more ambitious plates—think a platter full of fried mushrooms, an extravaganza of kimbap rolls, and do-it-yourself ssam bab—it’s best to come with a hungry crew."
