"Since 1992, this collectively-owned punk cafe — known for its hand-painted, bright green facade on Riverside Avenue — has been a classic haunt for vegan and vegetarian bites. Breakfast items like the vegan Helter Skelter with hash browns and tofu, vegan biscuits with mushroom gravy, and the vegan “big fat pancake” with maple syrup are served all day. The lunch menu features a seitan Philly and a Korean barbecue tofu bun. Cash only." - Stacy Brooks
