Local Tips

  • The East Village and Lower East Side have the densest concentration of vegan restaurants in the city - plan a food crawl through this neighborhood.
  • Many non-vegan restaurants in NYC offer impressive plant-based options - don't be afraid to ask for modifications at any restaurant.
  • Download the HappyCow app before your visit - NYC has so many vegan spots that you will never run out of options, even on a week-long trip.
