by New York Bucket List
Vegetarians, vegans, and the veggie-curious (who have yet to make up their minds) have really increased over the last few years. Studies backing up a link between vegetarianism and health, stress, and aging have inspired many New Yorkers to increase their greens and decrease their botox fillers.
Restaurants have begun adding the trendy faux-meat into their menu selection to satisfy the veggie lovers and show the veggie-curious that non-meat products can take the role of your beloved comfort food.
To find out just how delicious going veggie could be, we turned to Chef Chloe Coscarelli, who has been vegan since 2004 –a time when veggie burgers were feared by the public and BSpears was still married to KFed. Since then, she's been at the forefront of the vegan revolution! To give this green thumb a go, we asked her to round up her favorite vegan restaurants around NYC.
Little Choc Apothecary
First fully vegan, gluten-free creperie in NYC. This adorable creperie serves a creative selection of both sweet and savory crepes, homemade baked desserts, as well as health-supportive, house-blended teas, and more. I could literally eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert here!
Favorite Item: Pizza Crepe with added kale and mushrooms

Mouth-watering vegan comfort food by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Offering weekday dinner and weekend brunch, menu highlights include fried Tofu & Waffles, Chorizo Nachos, and Modern Cheeseburger. I challenge you to try and save room for dessert!

A chic, vegetable-forward restaurant in the East Village, with a delicious Chardonnay & Artichoke Fondue and a super creative cocktail menu. Since the menu is tapas-style, it’s a great spot to go with a group of people to celebrate a birthday. Plus, they have a ton of GF menu options, too!
Favorite Items: Chardonnay & Artichoke Fondue, Loaded Potatoes, and Shearwater Spritz
Champs Diner

My absolute favorite diner, offering all the classics like burgers, sandwiches, mac n cheese, waffles, over 6 types of pancakes, as well as sundaes and shakes – but ALL vegan! They don’t take reservations, but trust me when I say it’s worth the wait.
Favorite Items: Chik’n & Waffles and Kickin’ Cowgirl
Bodhi Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant

Famous for turning classic Chinese dishes, like dim sum, all vegan. If you go with a large group (highly recommend), ask to be seated at one of the round turntables in the back, so you can order a ton of dishes to share.
Favorite Item: Turnip Cakes
