"If you want to eat things like mushroom toast or tofu prepared Peking-duck style while lounging on a velvet banquette, come to Ladybird. This entirely plant-based spot in the East Village serves the best vegan mac and cheese we’ve had, and if you can stop eating the coconutty crème brûlée once you’ve started, we’d call it a genuine accomplishment. Whether you’re a vegan or not, Ladybird is the perfect place to bring someone on a third date when you’re both ready to consume things other than alcohol in each other’s presence." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
