VSpot
Delicious latin food, from burritos to Empanadas and even dessert, go for it! 12 St. Marks Place, New York, NY! Website.
Red Bamboo
A large menu, with many dishes made with “fake meat”. I love the food and the prices are very reasonable! 140 West 4th Street. Website.
Dun Well Doughnuts
Mojito, pineapple, banana and peanut butter….these are only a few of the flavors you will find at Dun Well Doughnuts. My favorite vegan doughnuts in NY! 1222 Montrose Ave, Brooklyn, NY. Website.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
They serve dairy and non-dairy ice cream. Some flavors are too sweet for my taste, so sample a few before you choose one. This my favorite vegan spot for ice cream!
Willow New York
This vegan bistro is located in Chelsea and it is a must visit. I enjoyed the food but the desserts shouldn’t be missed! We ordered the Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet with ice cream and the Banana Foster Cake – with ice cream as well! I’ve heard great things about their sandwiches as well but we really wanted to try something different – that we don’t find in most vegan spots so and had the seitan steaks and fries! And Ryu has the chicken masala. They were good but the dessert is still my favorite part!
Champs Diner
Burgers, pancakes, hot dogs, milkshakes… Champs has a large menu that will impress all your non-vegan friends as well. It is in Brooklyn and it is worth the trip! 197 Meserole St, Brooklyn, NY! Website.

JaJaJa Plantas Mexicanas
If you are craving authentic Mexican food, this is the place! This new must-go restaurant is located in downtown and in Brooklyn. Gluten-free options available and get ready to wait in line if you are going for dinner, it gets busy in the evening, but it is worth it! If you are sensitive to spicy food make sure you make yourself clear about this so they recommend the options that are truly mild. Check their official website HERE! 162 East Broadway, New York, NY
