New York City truly is the world’s melting pot, and its diverse community has made sure that our city is among the Top 5 most
vegetarian/vegan friendly places in the USA. It is a plant-based eaters
paradise offering many options ranging from vegetarian friendly to raw vegan
restaurants, bakeries, ice cream parlors and food trucks. We at the front desk have noticed
the increased number of people asking for restaurant recommendations for vegetarians
instead of the ever so popular steakhouses. Although almost every restaurant,
even the steakhouses, offer good vegetarian options, you might want to pay a
visit to some of the delicious vegan restaurants and be prepared to be blown away by the flavors.
We have quite a few
vegetarians on our staff, one of them being Katariina, a long-time vegetarian and a holistic Health Coaching student. She shared her top 3 favorite
restaurants even a carnivore would love.
