"If you’re looking for vegan Sichuan food, head to one of Spicy Moon’s four downtown locations immediately. All their restaurants have a full menu of dishes that suit a plant-based diet, like spicy wontons with mushrooms, fluffy eggplant buns, and super crispy Sichuan pepper brussels sprouts that we order every time.The Spicy Moon in the West Village has a bigger bar and a mini-lounge, but we prefer the red, darkroom lighting at the original East Village spot, which makes feasting on dan dan noodles and dry pot with tofu feel like an intimate dinner party." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang
