"Kalish is vegan, but you might not realize it by looking at the menu, or even by your first bite of the food. They’ve managed to create delicious plant-based versions of brunch favorites like pancakes, scrambles, and even chicken and waffles. Plus if you head next door, the same team is also serving up vegan Detroit-style pizza at Longacre, and vegan Jewish deli food at Sam and Gerties - that’s gotta be the highest concentration of vegan options outside of California." - courtney sprewer
