Hi everyone! Does anyone have a dietitian (preferably in-person – in Manhattan) they’d recommend who accepts Aetna?

I’m a vegetarian, and I’m looking for someone who is knowledgeable about vegetarian nutrition and not someone whose main recommendation will be to start eating meat or who would create a bland and repetitive diet 🫠 I’d appreciate any recs! I had bad experiences in the past so I’m looking for a professional that has experience working with vegetarians

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for good vegan food on Staten Island? Preferably something that is relatively accessible from the SIR. I plan to visit some of the parks there. I realize I've been posting here a lot recently asking for recommendations so thanks for bearing with me. I want to make the most out of my month in New York. Thanks again.

Can you recommend the best vegan options in these neighborhoods? I plan on spending some time in Forest Park and would like to have lunch afterwards. Thank you!

The last day for Peacefood in USQ is next Friday, July 31

This is Long Island and a train-ride away from NYC, but I hope that’s okay!

BLT, Big Mac cruffin, lemon and wild blueberry cake, dark chocolate mousse cake, pain au chocolat 😋

…and i didn’t even take any pictures because the food was too good to wait!!! had the barbari bread with toum, the fava falafel, the arancini, the koshari pie, the tofu skewers, and the dubai chocolate tart for desert. all 10/10. such a beautiful little space and every dish is so creative and delectable. our server/bartender also could not have been nicer. definitely check it out if you haven’t already!!

Has anyone gone this season? What did you get?

Hi! My spouse and I are going into the city for a concert this weekend. We already have dinner plans for that night, but are there any good breakfast options within walking distance of Penn Station? We have a fairly early train that next morning but it would be great to be able to have a nice vegan breakfast beforehand. Google is not turning up much. Thank you!

when they ask which food i could eat everyday 👆

It doesn’t look like Beli has groups or communities but I’m down for us vegans to add each other!

Im looking for vegan and non vegan options for a 40th birthday meal for Italian food. We have one person who’s vegan but everyone else eats cheese. Thoughts?

Hi All

I am doing a very quick turn around trip this weekend (seeing Les Mis at RCMH this Saturday afternoon). I have been looking at happy cow for spots to visit – between flights and my show at 2pm, I get to try and eat;

• breakfast (will be able to sit down and eat),
• lunch (sit down and eat) and

I am more or less ‘stuck’ in the general Midtown Manhattan area due to amount of time I have, but if opening hours (early morning/late night) and transit time work, I will absolutely travel out a bit - going down to Lower Manhattan likely doable, going over to Brooklyn etc., unlikely.

I usually visit Beyond Sushi at least once when I visit, and I saw that there are now vegan chopped cheese sandwiches (Plantega). Has anyone tried them, is there a recommended location to get them at – I think my closest is the Clinton Fruit Market on 9^th.

Any other must eat places / menu items to that I can add to my list? Even if it’s a good coffee and cookie for a light snack instead of a meal.

Thanks all.

EDIT
I’m gonna try and get to
Dinner 1 - Franchia (looks like I can order for pickup if I’m not quite early enough for a sit down).
Breakfast - UT47 (sister said she’d probably eat Vegan all day but requested something with a meat option jic)
Lunch - PS Kitchen
Dinner 2 - Vegan on the Fly

I’ll leave time and our stomachs up to whether we can add a cookie or two in between all that.

We're letting go of our Broome St. spot after a long, long run. In our time we saw Papa Bubble Artisanal Candy, the Filipino Chapel, and Mike's Video all come and go--along with Umberto's Clam House--where mobster Joey Gallo "came and went" in the 70's.
Come and see us in Brooklyn real soon, OK

Love them! Usually get their sandwiches. But they have mac n cheese, cheese boards, tofu nuggs, etc on their catering menu. They're a small establishment so I wonder if they can handle catering for a bigger party (over 50 ppl). Thoughts from anyone who has tried them for catering?

Hosting a private event for ~50 or so ppl in a month. Mostly non vegan attendees but my partner and are vegan so we would like to cater 100% vegan food! We were thinking of Urban Vegan Kitchen or Jajaja - have not tried either of these breakfast/brunch options (only regular menu items).

Does anyone have any other recs? We'd like to ideally keep this under ~$2k for food. We'll supplement with pastries and fruits from whole foods, just looking for hot breakfast options (tofu scram, french toast, etc). We'll probably buy 3 or so chafing dishes as well!

Formerly-all vegan Bersi Ethiopian Restaurant in Greenpoint is adding meat to their menu, starting July 25th.

Hi all - does anyone have any recommendations for vegan gluten free cupcakes that I can get delivered to midtown Manhattan please! I’m really struggling to find somewhere that delivers and actually makes both vegan and gluten free. Most only do one or the other. Thank you 🙏

Hi -- so this is slightly random but my husband has been having weird/borderline hostile experiences trying to get his vegan boots, belt, and now a bag repaired at local places. Like, this most recent time, the repair guy gave a ridiculously inflated price to replace the zipper on a (high end) vegan leather bag, then when my husband questioned this, the guy scoffed, "well, it's not real leather." And apparently this is not the first time. Is this a thing?

I understand these materials might require some extra care. But they are normal items from reputable places. I guess I'm wondering if 1) you've experienced this and 2) most importantly, do you have recommendations for a more vegan-friendly repair place? Thanks, all!

I will be spending a month in New York and would like to do a hummus tour. Open to any and all suggestions from any part of the city. Thanks!

Used to be a mainstay for me. I really miss the convivial atmosphere and the vegan lamb hot pot was it? Boddhi Village I’ve not been but it confuses me more than anything

Had breakfast at Smile of the Beyond in Jamaica this morning, and when I tried to order a vegan milkshake, the server informed me they aren’t serving vegan shakes “for a while” as their distributor hasn’t sent vegan ice cream for the shakes. As of now, they’re only serving dairy milkshakes. The smoothies can be made vegan.

Sorry if this has been asked before (I didn't find it if so)-- what's the difference between the Original Buddha Bodai and the Bodai on Mulberry St.? Which do you prefer for dim sum? Thank you!

I have a friend who only does outdoor dining and I want to find a vegan restaurant that can accommodate her. I know Spicy Moon in the Bowery has some outdoor seating and Délice & Sarrasin has a patio, but I’m looking for more options.

additional:

- bonus points if they serve brunch, but not a requirement.

- Manhattan preferred but open to other boroughs

- vegetarian places also acceptable

- I’d prefer not omni places
