Default Vegan restaurants - New York, Nashville, Memphis

I was in Manhatten this past weekend for the Fifth HOPE
(http://www.the-fifth-hope.org/). I was staying across the street from
Penn Station, and must say, I was not overly impressed with what I saw
of the city. Maybe my expectations were just too high, or maybe
Montreal is really just that much better. A NY bagel has got /nothing/
on a Montreal bagel.

However, Viva Natural Vegetarian Pizzeria on 64 East 34th St (between
Park and Maddison), was a real treat. Unfortunately, they are closed
Friday night and Saturday, but their bocolli/garlic/tomato/spinach pizza
on thin whole-wheat crust was really quite tasty, as are their juices.

I also went to an Irish pub called Fenly's and had a portabello and
vegetable wrap (ask for no cheese!), which was really quite excellent,
however they ran out of Guiness right before I got there.

Also, check out http://www.happycow.net/ for a more comprehensive listing.
