The 14 Best Vegan Restaurants in New York City

"While the vegan scene in New York City has boomed in the depth and breadth in its offerings over the past few years, full vegan tasting menus remain few and far between. On an unassuming corner of Broome and Allen Street, just steps from Chinatown's dumpling shops and outdoor grocers, sits Dirt Candy, a Michelin Star vegetarian restaurant dedicated to treating vegetables like candied gifts from the dirt. Chef Amanda Cohen opened Dirt Candy 16 years ago, and ever since, it's clear that kitchen has fun with crafting the menu for each season. Some fan favorites include summer's tomato cake (plus related variants such as the tomato donut), autumn's portobello croissant with a mushroom cappuccino, and winter's smoked cabbage hot pot for one."
