"You can bring your non-vegetarian friends to Midtown Village’s Charlie Was A Sinner and they probably won’t even notice that it’s an entirely vegan bar. On top of cocktails with ingredients like wheatgrass and dehydrated beet, they also have small plates like fried oyster mushroom calamari and a pan seared cauliflower pad thai. It’s small and dark inside, so use it for a first date with someone who really likes vegetables or post-work drinks and snacks with a coworker who’s tired of eating pizza for a week straight." - candis mclean
