8 Vegan Restaurants We'll Miss When We Leave NYC

We're moving to Ithaca in a couple of weeks after over six years in NYC, and there are a lot of things we're going to miss so...we're making a Google map of our favorites. So far, we've just done restaurants, but there's more coming.

And...here are our 8 favorite restaurants (that happen to be mostly vegan), in no particular order:

Foodswings
The best vegan sandwiches in NYC, not to mention amazing drumsticks and mac 'n' cheese. They catered our wedding!

NY Dosas
An amazing South Indian food cart! Our favorite is the Masala Dosa with a veggie drumstick on the side. Ask Thiru for his cell number and you can call ahead to place your order. If it's nice out, sit and eat in Washington Square Park.

Sacred Chow
Vegan tapas with a romantic atmosphere. The best brussel sprouts in town.

Vegetarian Palate
Delicious vegan Chinese food. We used to order from these guys all the time when we lived in Park Slope. Our favorites are the ribs, Duck L'Orange, and the spinach dumplings.

Kate's Joint
We used to go to this place all the time when we lived in the Lower East Side. Kate's Benedict is a great brunch, and comes with a Bloody Mary or Screwdriver and all-you-can-drink coffee.

Temple in the Village
Possibly the best vegan buffet in NYC, and it's all organic. We usually pile up on greens, tofu, and fried veggie pancakes.

Mighty Diamond
Really cool murals and adorable table signage explaining tofu and tempeh - our faves are the curry "goat", mac 'n' cheese, collards and the veggie patty. they also have vegan corn bread!

Red Bamboo
One of the fancier vegan joints - a bit pricy but the food is great. We love the "Sole on a Roll" with a Lambic Peche (deliciously sweet Belgian beer).
