"HanGawi is “a vegetarian shrine in another space and time.” All guests are asked to remove their shoes, and the tabletops are at floor level, meaning guests climb into cozy cocoons to eat their delicious (though a bit pricey) meals. HanGawi is a sister restaurant with Franchia Vegan Cafe, located just a few blocks away. 12 East 32nd Street, Manhattan"
"This upscale Korean restaurant offers a unique dining experience: as you enter, you leave your shoes at the door and take a seat on pillows with curtains separating your table from the next. It has a very calming and laid back vibe and is such a beautiful space. Then comes the incredibly flavorful food."
"Hangawi is a restaurant serving vegan food with the flavors of Korea. Although Korean dishes are known for sizzling meats and stuff, they also have a wide range of great vegan food!. Hangawi in NY has a lot of great food to offer!"
"So, the Butcher’s Daughter might not seem to fancy, but this cafe and lunch spot is easily one of the best restaurants in New York to visit whilst in the West Village or Williamsburg. Prices might be a little more than some other spots for casual lunch in New York but it’s well worth it. Their angel hair carbonara and burrata and pears is so good on a sunny day."
"This "vegetable-slaughterhouse" serves up fresh plant-based breakfast, lunch, and dinner at their two locations. The menu is fully vegetarian, with most of it being vegan and gluten-free as well. They're commitment is to transform fruit and vegetables into something special and focus on featuring local, seasonal produce."
"Leave it to a butcher’s offspring to swear off meat, but at least she’s doing it right. This vegetarian restaurant has a slew of vegan options, raging from an adzuki bacon BLT to pad Thai to healthy-ish cocktails mixed with cold pressed juice."
"Black Flamingo is equal parts, cocktail bar, restaurant and discotheque. Established in 2015 Black Flamingo offers its patrons a latin influenced vegan dining experience, mouth watering cocktails and a premium sound system in the basement pumping house music, all packed into one nondescript location in Williamsburg. Food here is served until 11 pm, after which you can indulge in some exotic cocktails until it’s time to transition the party downstairs and work off those calories on the dance floor till the wee hours of the morning."
"Black Flamingo's official designation on Google is "Vegan Restaurant." Don't let this confuse you. While it's true that generally good meatless fare is served here, it's the basement you should care about. Decked out in a pink-walled Miami Vice, 1970's vibe, Black Flamingo is where people who don't care to see or be seen come to get down."

"Stopping into one the four locations of Le Botaniste is sure to be a bright spot of your day. Originating in Belgium, the management team has perfected their brand – clean, healthy, and filling plant-based meals. Operating by the motto “Let thy food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”, the founders believe healthy food shouldn’t be boring."
"The vegan, gluten-free spot is located in the Upper East Side of NYC. It provides pure, plant-based meals fused with new flavors and textures. Meals are available as customizable or standalone small plates, such as seaweed tartare, coconut ceviche, and supersede-encrusted avocado."
"Veggie Grill opened its 37th location in New York in 2019 in Flatiron with an entirely plant based menu. Veggie Grill is the largest 100 percent plant-based fast casual brand in the United States. All menu items are free of meat, dairy, eggs and other animal products (that means they are free of antibiotics and hormones!)."
"California’s popular chain restaurant Veggie Grill opened its first NYC location in the Flatiron area in 2019 to the joy of vegans all across the city. Everything from burgers to cauliflower wings to mac and cheese to salads is on the menu. 12 West 23rd Street, Manhattan"
"Traditional French cuisine relies heavily on animal products, making Délice & Sarrasin such an important player in the city’s culinary scene. The entirely vegan restaurant serves all sorts of dishes out of a charming Christopher Street space that could very well pass for a Parisian cafe. They’ve mastered brunch—crepes, waffles, French toast, salads—but their vegan renditions of steak tartare, escargot, scallops, coq au vin, and the like give animal-averse eaters a rare chance to truly experience French cooking."
"If you’re vegan and looking for a place in the Chinatown area where you can order absolutely anything on the menu (the dumplings, spring rolls, and vegetarian duck are all good) and you don’t want to pay more than around $15, this kosher Chinese spot is a great place to consider. Sorry—looks like you screwed up that email address. Do you have friends and family who also eat food?"
"Buddha Bodai is a kosher all-vegetarian restaurant with a very extensive Chinese menu including dim sum, noodles, rice, soups, and more. ESSENTIAL INFO Address // 5 Mott St. New York NY, 10013 Hours // Mon-Fri (11am-930pm) – Sat-Sun (10am-930pm) Website// www.buddha-bodai.com"

"7th Avenue Donuts & Diner has been operating 24 hours a day for more than 40 years and still maintains the family-owned coffee shop and diner feel. The shop’s hand-made doughnuts are made every day with the same Hobart mixer that was used on day one. Bonus: You can leave the shop with a baker’s dozen for just $8.65."
"Open since 1977, this low-key diner is a favorite of long-time Park Slopers. While the food isn’t going to win any awards in the near future, it will definitely soak up all that booze from the night before. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a pink sprinkled donut for dessert?"
"Specially made by award-winning Chef Wylie Dufresne, Du’s Donuts are perfect for your taste buds (and your next Instagram). With wild flavors such as orange-pistachio, Nutella cherry, and PB&J, these “science-driven” cake doughnuts are priced at $3.50 each but are far worth the price. Go and enjoy a doughnut while sipping Brooklyn Roasting Company espresso, drip coffee, or cold brew."
"Opened by chef Wylie Dufresne, Du’s Donuts is all about flavor combinations you didn’t know could exist. Brown butter is mixed with key lime, while oatmeal is paired with chai. The shop also offers classic selections like cinnamon apple and cherry pie."
"Located in Greenpoint, this trendy spot offers delicious specialty donuts. The shop is clean and modern, and all of the donuts looked great!. I tried the Blueberry Crumble and the Coffee Cake donuts, and both were delicious."
"347-533-7544488 Lafayette Ave. (at Franklin Avenue), Bed Stuy. Head into the original location in Bed Stuy, which opened in 2010, for the essence and culture that Dough began with. While it offers a range of unique, delicious flavors inspired by the tastes of Latin America, the most popular are the salted chocolate caramel, Dulce de leche with toasted almonds, and hibiscus."
"The doughnuts at Dough are a far cry from your run-of-the-mill fried rings. They are towering rounds cloaked in shimmering glazes and about the size of your face. At the Bedford-Stuyvesant flagship location, the handmade yeast and cake doughnuts are guided through a small-batch process, fried, and dipped on site."
"A place like Dough might change your mind if you believe differently. Serving basic cake and yeast varieties, Dough!. is known for its delicious doughkas, twisted yeast loaves inspired by the Eastern European babkas."
"The tiny Paley Park, with its 20-foot waterfall in the heart of Midtown, is one of the most unique and best parks in NYC. The soothing sounds of the gushing water surrounded by honey locust trees and ivy-covered walls make it easy to forget one is the middle of Manhattan!"
"Pocket park with a revolutionary design that makes it a peaceful oasis in Midtown. © The RTW Guys, used with permission. Tucked inside an almost hidden space in Midtown Manhattan lies Paley Park, one of New York’s hidden garden gems."
"6 km from city center 25 out of 213 places to visit in New York City. Paley Park is one of the best parks in New York City. It is an urban pocket park located on 53rd Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues in Manhattan."
"Central Queens' biggest attraction is this 1225-acre park, built for the 1939 World’s Fair and dominated by Queens’ most famous landmark, the stainless-steel Unisphere – it's the world’s biggest globe: 120ft high and weighing 380 tons. Facing it is the former New York City Building, now home to the fantastic Queens Museum. Just south are three weather-worn, Cold War–era New York State Pavilion Towers, part of the New York State Pavilion for the 1964 World’s Fair."
"Stop off at Flushing Meadow park (especially in summer!) to see the iconic Unisphere and check out the NYC Panorama, which is a miniature version of New York City in the modern Queens Museum of Art. Into art/sculptures?. Visit the Noguchi museum for beautiful Japanese sculptures and a zen garden, PS1 for avantgarde exhibits, or the free Socrates Sculpture Park for free sculptures."
"14 km from city center 20 out of 213 places to visit in New York City. Flushing Meadows Corona Park, better known as Flushing Meadows Park is the best park in New York to take a relaxing stroll or ride bicycles. It is located in Flushing Bay, in the northern part of Queens in New York City."
"The ambiance is cool and feels like the local neighborhood spot. The chewy, thin crust fresh out of a wood-burning oven makes Motorino a no-brainer. East Village | 349 East 12th St (nr. 1st Ave), NYC"
"Before it became Frankies Spuntino restaurant, 457 Court Street in Carroll Gardens was an Italian social club. Two chefs named Frank decided to fix it up into the popular cozy joint that it is today. If you're in Brooklyn and in the mood for a "spuntino" – an informal meal or a snack – then make your way to Frankies."
