I've made my stance on faux meat pretty clear in the past (hint:
I don't like it) and I've never been to a Pan Asian restaurant I've liked. This made my choice of Wild Ginger, a vegan, pro-faux restaurant serving such enticing-sounding dishes as General Tsao's Soy Protein and Tofu Teriyaki Sizzling Platter a little suspect. What was I thinking? Luckily, turns out that amidst all that nonsense, there are some actually tasty lunch options.

Shojin-ryori, the predecessor to kaiseki cuisine devised centuries ago by Buddhist monks (and the basis for the food served at Kajitsu) has been a purely vegan cuisine from its outset. There are no wizard-like attempts to transform vegetables into meat-like products, no culinary mimicry, rather It's a cuisine that celebrates vegetables in all of their diverse glory. Kajitsu practices this tradition exceptionally well.

It took a few juice cleanses—in which a cashew or almond milk is your last "juice" of the day—to get us hooked on nut milks. (When that's your only source of fat and protein for 72 hours, you
really crave it. Like you've never craved anything before.) But even once back on solid food, we found ourselves missing those rich, nutty drinkables. So we were pretty jazzed to hear about
OMilkNYC, delivering their vegan almond and cashew milks in New York.

When I first became a vegetarian, when I wanted a fast food fix I headed to McDonalds and ordered the double cheeseburger meal without the burger. This was way back in the day, before they offered a veggie burger on their menu. Thankfully I don't have this craving any more, but occasionally I still want a good sandwich and I want it quickly.
Terri is a sandwich shop in Chelsea that serves not just vegetarian but vegan sandwiches, along with salads and juices, for the on-the-go lunch crowd.

There was a time, during my high school years in California, when my little brother Greg was my copilot for weekend In-N-Out Burger trips; I'd get a plain ol' cheeseburger, and he'd be the one ordering a Triple-Triple.
But he's been a vegan for five years now. And when I plan our NYC eating adventures, it's always a bit of a challenge; where can I take him where we'll all be happy, meat-eaters and meat-free? Here are a few of my favorite spots to hit.

If they're available, put them on your must-eat list; you'll be rewarded with a bergamot-scented cake and matching frosting.

Franchia made us feel like the dumplings they serve. This Asian-inflected, vegan restaurant offers serenity with a side of placidity.

National holidays are a great time for culturual self-reflection, and after a long weekend filled with the noble civic duty of eating as much as my body could reasonably handle without risking diabetes, I realized something: this is America (gosh darnit!), and vegans should be just as entitled to ruin their bodies with junk food as their animal-eating kinsfolk (Freegans can shove it). Williamsburg's
Foodswings helps make that dream a seitan-filled reality.
