"The veggie-forward food at this super casual cafe feels more exciting than dishes we’ve had at big-name farm-to-table restaurants in Manhattan. Yes, Beets and Carrots has beet and carrot hummus, but they also have beet bucatini with an unexpected chili-almond crunch, and a springtime gnocchi with artichoke barigoule. Bring your meat-eating friends too—they have an ultra luxurious lobster newburg, and sometimes do elk and boar burgers. " - neha talreja
