A vegan in New York?

What’s a vegan? Well…for starters, we don’t eat meat, chicken, fish, eggs,

dairy products, or any other animal-derived food. Of course, there’s much

more to this lifestyle than can be covered in a single blog post—e.g.,

vegans also don’t “wear” animals (wool, fur, leather, down, etc.)—but what

we’re here to report is that our fair city is nothing short of a vegan

paradise.

 

East Side or West Side, Uptown or Downtown…beneath NYC’s concrete façade

lies a vast array of strictly vegan eateries along with an incalculable

number of vegan-friendly establishments. Fast food, slow food, organic food,

raw food…no one does the vegan thing like NYC.

 

From A (Angelica Kitchen) to Z (Zen Palate), no major metropolis on the

Whole Earth (Bakery) can hold a Candle (Cafe) to Gotham City. You can even

make certain your shoes won’t Moo.

 

So, for those who may judge a city by how its subway smells, check your

preconceptions and your steaks at the door and get ready to take an

animal-free bite out of our Big Apple.
