Where To Have A Vegetarian Birthday Dinner

"Historically speaking, many birthday parties have happened at red sauce Italian spots. And, historically speaking, vegans have struggled through those meals. John’s of 12th Street is the only restaurant in the city where that won’t be the case. It’s as classic as NYC Italian places get (framed black and white photos on the walls, white tablecloths, and massive portions), but there’s also an entire menu of vegan options. Which means you can get eggplant parm with cashew cheese and a delicious portobello mushroom with polenta and greens. And, if your friends aren’t vegan, they’ll probably be happy with a pile of meatballs." - nikko duren, matt tervooren
