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

"I find Clemente Bar — the more casual, plant-based sibling to Eleven Madison Park — on the second floor of the Park Avenue–adjacent space, where it offers two reservation experiences: a lounge for drinks and a studio with a nine-seat counter tasting menu that comes with cocktail pairings. The kitchen turns out entirely plant-based dishes with a Japanese twist, like avocado inari pockets, lemon pepper fried maitake mushrooms, and agadashi tofu hot dogs served in a truffle potato roll; cocktails (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) rank among the city’s best and the dimly lit room is stylish, decorated with works by Francesco Clemente." - Kyle Beechey
