Vegan restaurants - New York, Nashville, Memphis
I've recently started seeing someone who is a vegan. We're going to be
taking a trip in a couple of weeks - flying to New York and staying there for 2 days, then driving to Memphis via Nashville. We'll be staying in Memphis for about 1 days, then returning to New York. Does anyone have any suggestions for Vegan restaurants and/or food shops in any of these places? Any help would be appreciated and will certainly earn me a lot of brownie points!! Many thanks in advance, Pete |

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. -- Blue phurren wrote: > I've recently started seeing someone who is a vegan.

Just about every place I've eaten in New York has had something for vegans even if it wasn't a vegan restaurant ....just stay away from chain type places and you'll be fine. Pickings are pretty slim in Nashville & Memphis but there are a few places listed on the Happycow site. As I've never been to Memphis or Nashville, I haven't any personal recommendations. The Happycow site will probably be able to help you out with places to stop en route as well. Best of luck! |

We'll be > staying in Memphis for about 1 days, then returning to New York. This is my favorite resource for veggie restaurant listings: http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/usa/index.html The BEST vegan place in NYC hands down is VP2 in the Village. I've never met anyone (veggie or not) who doesn't love that place. And the prices are incredibly reasonable as well. It's not to be missed!! J.C. |

True beer contains only 4 ingredients: water yeast hops barley Guinness is made only with those four ingredients (http://www.guinness.com/guinness/en_...125624,00.html). -- Blue |

As a followup to my own post.... =} There's a chocolate shop near VP2 called Varsanos (http://www.kfspr.com/marc/) that is to die for. Most of their dark chocolate is vegan and it's all freshly made -- it's the best IMO. The owner is a very kind man who answers all ingredient questions. He mentioned once that a lot of vegans stop in his store. There's tons of other vegan places/resources in the Village, but a trip to VP2 and Varsanos and some general strolling in that area will make for a very nice time. J.C. |

"hamilton" > wrote in message ... > fine. i'm liar. i never took the tour and never heard that uttered. > whatever. When I *specifically* asked them if beef tallow was in any of their beers, this is what they said: Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in Guinness Draught nutritional information. In reference to your inquiry, isinglass, a fish product, is used during the clarification process as a magnet to get rid of excess yeast. To the strict Vegan, this would be an animal product and unsuitable. I hope this helps. Once again, thank you for contacting us. Sincerely Nicholas L Guinness Consumer Response Representative |

I figured out a way to make them at home since I don't get to NYC as much as I used to...nice thing about Sacred Chow is that there's no question about whether it's vegan or not and they use mostly organic ingredients too. >There's tons of other vegan places/resources in the Village, but a trip >to VP2 and Varsanos and some general strolling in that area will make >for a very nice time. I second the suggestion for Vegetarian Paradise...VP1 (which used to be @ Bowery & Canal and is no longer around) was the first strictly veg place I ever ate at nearly 20 years ago...there's a VP3 on Mott St. too.. if you go in the afternoon, ask for the lunch menu (they don't voluntarily give it out but it's got great lunch deals). |

opposed to us guinness which is brewed in canada.
