The Ultimate Vegan Guide to Brooklyn
"If you are looking for quality Korean vegan dishes while enjoying complete peace of mind, you have made the right choice for your dining. It is not simply any Korean gourmet vegetarian restaurant but is akin to a spiritual place. You will be asked to open your shoes prior to entering the dining space, a custom similar to entering any traditional Korean home."
"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."
"Korean , Vegetarian"
"Located in Soho, The Butcher's Daughter is known for their healthy juices created by their very own 'Head Juiceologist'. The restaurant is bright, airy, and filled with plants. It's the perfect place to relax on a Sunday and get brunch."
"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."
"East Williamsburg Black Flamingo is a casual neighborhood bar, until it isn’t. The spot is perfect for a beer and a pair of tasty vegetarian tacos, but as day turns into night and one beer turns into seven, you’ll find yourself on a packed, vibrating dance floor. The sunken space is smoky, dark and packed with a committed crowd of revelers swaying in unison to a house-leaning DJ."
"They are a deli-style café serving soups, salads, sandwiches, and a few other vegan specialties. They bake vegan desserts daily and have a large coffee, tea, and juice menu. Open daily for lunch and dinnerLimited servicetake-out, fresh juices, smoothies, soymilk, espresso/cappuccino, special beveragesVISA/MC/AMEX, $-$$"
"The self-labeled “vegetable slaughterhouse” treats fruits and vegetables as a butcher would meat: chopping, filleting, and carving fresh produce into healthy vegetarian dishes. The seasonal, daily changing menu is 100 percent vegetarian with many vegan and gluten-free options. Faves include the butcher’s bowl with roasted potatoes, harissa aioli, maitake mushroom, spinach, fennel “sausage” topped with a poached egg and cacio e pepe cauliflower served with pecorino and vegan butter."
"Pastry chef Christina Tosi’s bakery and coffee spot, formed under the tutelage of David Chang’s Momofuku empire, is better known for its Crack Pie and cereal milk-flavored soft-serve ice cream. But its cookies shouldn’t be overlooked, especially the minimalist, underappreciated corn variation, the sugar of which amplifies the natural corn flavor. There are additional locations across the city."
"Another legendary old-school pastry shop and bakery in Brooklyn dating back to 1945 is Circo’s Pastry Shop in Bushwick. Loaded with Italian and French pastries you can find an array of cakes, cookies, and cakes for any of your special occasions. Don’t miss out on their classics like cannoli, eclair, rainbow cookies, cheesecake, and tiramisu"
"Insomnia Cookies started cruising the streets of New York City in their food trucks back in 2008, now nearly a decade later they have over 100 shops. Order through their personal app and surprise someone anywhere in the US with a box of heavenly cookies (vegan/gluten free options included)."
"And last on our list of the best cookies in NYC, it’s Insomnia cookies. Although we sympathize with true insomniacs, we feel that this place is named Insomnia Cookies because their products keep you awake at night. In a good way of course!"
"Pier 25, the longest pier in Hudson River Park, is a gold mine for children in the summer. There is an 18-hole miniature golf course where families can have a friendly competition against each other under the stars. When you're finished order some food from the snack bar or head to the sand volleyball court or children's playgrounds."
"This 25,000 square feet of gated play space has eight seasonal water features, including an elevated water-wheel. There is something here for kids big and small. A favorite feature is a water play area equipped with water guns, sprayers and buckets to fill and dump."
"Located in Brooklyn Bridge Park, one of our top picks for things to do in Brooklyn at Pier 6 is Pilot, a floating bar and oyster bar aboard a historic wooden schooner. There’s no other oyster bar that has more ambiance than being aboard an actual wooden schooner in the East River overlooking the New York City skyline with food prepared by a critically acclaimed chef. The wooden schooner is nearly a century old and was going after being the fastest sailboat in the world in her heyday."
"Why It’s So Cool: With apologies to Manhattan's playground titans, this is the play spot to beat in NYC. It is, quite-frankly, absurd in its offerings. A giant wooden teepee with slide exit, large spherical climbing structures and more slides built into the landscape are just a few of the highlights."
"The pier’s landscape occupies the outer two-thirds and is designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates. It holds many amenities, including sand volleyball courts, concessionaires, a dog run, plantings, some condos, and playgrounds."
"A few favorites are Westville for some unpretentious veggie-friendly fare, Tartine for decadent French food (which you’ll likely have to wait in line for – the quintessential New York experience), or Jack’s Wife Freda for delicious Middle Eastern food. Those on a budget can grab a delicious falafel at Taïm – I love their sweet potato falafel."
