At a time when organic, locally sourced, in-season, farm-to-table veggies are the star players on many a menu, it’s hard to believe that vegetarianism was once considered a wacky fringe movement akin to UFO obsession. Sure, most people still aren’t willing to give up their ribs and steaks, but many are embracing the great, creative vegetarian fare served up by top chefs across the country. From vegan fondu in L.A. to faux meat fixings in Chicago to vegan sushi in NYC, here are some of our favorite herbivorous hot spots. We also include restaurants that offer non-vegetarian dishes as well, so you can keep your carnivore dining companions happy. |
