I note a favorite advertiser here

My favorite "fancy" restaurant V Note in NYC. Outstanding vegan food at reasonable prices for its quality. I urge all New Yorkers to try it. And use the coupon sites Savored and Groupon for discounts.

$20+ for a plate of vegetables?

And I hear servers don't like customers who use coupons because they're usually miserly tippers.

It's appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, entrees, brunch items and desserts made with the finest quality vegetarian/vegan ingredients, including meat substitutes. I'm glad to have had a chance to educate you about what vegan food consists of these days. : )

Also you'd be surprised what chefs can make with "just vegetables".

As for tipping, the servers have nothing to complain about. I tip extra when I use coupons.

Do you know how many cute little veggies are murdered to create those scrumptious dishes?



Sorry, just playin' you.

The way that Internet advertising works, the odds of anyone outside of your area and your constellation of measured interests actually sees the same ad that you see are about nil.

I'll have this:

Tofu “Salmon” & Mushroom Scallops 21
beet marinated tofu topped with a dill leek tartar sauce, lobster mushroom scallops, black rice, fennel, broccolini in a white wine mushroom reduction

I'm not vegan, and not even vegetarian, but I like (most) vegetarian food. I have to cook vegetarian a lot, so I like to look at menus at good vegetarian restaurants for ideas.

Have you ever eaten at Dirt Candy in NYC? I haven't, but I bought the cookbook for my daughter-in-law. Some wild stuff.

If you're ever in Chicago, try Green Zebra, or Karyn's on Green

Did eat at Quintessence, a raw restaurant, yesterday. Had a mock eggs Benedict that my omnivore companion agreed was almost impossible to believe it wasn't cooked. Simply scrumptious. And with my 40 for 20 Groupon we paid $3 and change for it. Left a $15 tip.

6. Vegan food? New York City?

I didn't know NYC had that many weak, pale, sickly hippies living there to keep a place like that afloat. And Groupon, etc carry coupons for the place? Sounds popular. Weird.



I refuse to use the sarcasm thingy. I'm jealous of you having such a place.
