"Most tasting-menu restaurants don’t easily accommodate vegan diners—and that’s partly what makes Dirt Candy on the Lower East Side so unique. At this spacious restaurant with white brick walls, the seasonal offerings include things like a portobello mousse croissant served with a mushroom cappuccino, and almost all of the dishes can be made vegan. The $110 tasting menu comes with five courses, and the price includes gratuity." - bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
