9 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New York City | Condé Nast Traveler

"When I step into Hangawi in Koreatown I immediately sense that this isn’t an average restaurant — you’re asked to remove your shoes and keep your voice down in a space that bills itself as a vegetarian shrine. The food is distinctly Korean but free of the expected barbecue and bulgogi, instead featuring items like perilla leaf tofu patties, crispy mushrooms in sweet-and-sour sauce, and organic buckwheat noodles; the singular vibe and refreshingly animal-product–free take on Korean flavors make everything that arrives at the table a pleasant surprise." - Kyle Beechey
