Dawnkeeper asked:Looking for (raw) vegan restaurants in New York hi guys, I am going to NYC in August and I wonder if you guys know any good (raw)vegan restaurants/lunchrooms to go to? Thanks! EDIT: wooooow! Thank you guys very much! I am going to have an AWESOME time there, can't wait. I think this post has the most reactions I've ever got :) My sister (24) is getting graduated and I (20/F) am going to New York for the second time! ( first time when I was 13 - I live in the Netherlands) I'm soooo exited!
chrisgee replied:[pure food and wine](http://oneluckyduck.com/pages/pure-food-and-wine) is fancy ($$$) but its all raw/vegan. [Caravan of Dreams](http://www.caravanofdreams.net/) has some raw stuff. [Quintessence](http://www.raw-q.com/) is all raw, but i haven't been there yet, but it's well-regarded.
motsunabe replied:Raw: Quintessence, Pure Food and Wine. Rockin' Raw also has a good reputation but I've never been. Vegan but not 100% raw: Snice, Angelica Kitchen, Dirt Candy, Candle Cafe, Peacefood Cafe, Hangawi. If you are fine with macrobiotic, Souen is great. Since it's macrobiotic, they also have some fish, but the menu is mostly vegan.
rm999 replied:East village dominates in raw vegan and largely raw vegan food: Quintessence, Angelica's Kitchen, Pure Food and Wine, Caravan of Dreams, and Dirt Candy are all within a 10 minute walk of the 1 st st stop on the L. I'd recommend any of those, but they are all sit-down places and aren't exactly cheap. For something more casual, there are a lot of cafes and take out places like Juice Press.
