Jajaja Mexicana

Mexican restaurant · West Village

Would happily eat here every day The order for 4: nachos to start (something in those beans make them addictive), gorditas (absolute must), enchiladas mole (where was this my entire vegan life), whatever tacos float your fancy, and DO NOT leave without the churritos (almost slept on these but they’re one of the best vegan desserts I’ve ever had) Also good: rainbow chard salad, Mexican wedding cookies, chile relleno, kale pancakes — and the pie is from Rawsome

Beloved Cafe & Restaurant

Permanently Closed

Great sourdough and super cute setup, frequently have jazz and other musicians hanging out The order for 2: mushroom tacos (the best vegan tacos potentially ever), sourdough half loaf with vegan butter and jam (what's better than tearing bread with a friend), sourdough donuts, coffees with rose syrup

Spicy Moon

Vegan restaurant · East Village

Great guaranteed-vegan Szechuan food

scen

Permanently Closed

Beautiful bowls - really good, surprising value ($14 for a heavier-than-Chipotle bowl) The order for 2: bowl each with whatever looks good to you, BLT (carrot bacon is unreal and it's teeny / shareable)

Spring Cafe

Vegan restaurant · Chinatown

Value is incomparable, the protein options are excellent, and there’s just something comforting about excellently done vegan Asian food in a bento box The order for 2: Ginger vegan chicken bao buns (there’s something in that ginger paste it’s addictive), tofu skin bento box (which includes some delightful curried veggies), salt and pepper mushrooms, and a juice

Grass Roots Juicery

Permanently Closed

The best juice in the city, this is fresh, delicious, all organic, and bottled in glass. Every juice is good, don’t sleep on the Cricket, and their baked goods are all great too!
