New York is big on anything meat-lovers, but that doesn’t mean it lacks great vegan cuisine. Try out Urban Vegan Kitchen for some organic vegan comfort food and cocktails.

In such an amazing city, you can count on some pretty amazing (and outrageous!) desserts. Head over to Black Tap for some crazy milkshake concoctions!  There’s so much food in New York to explore, but I hope this has given you an idea on where to dine your next evening in the city. Bon Appetite!
