Almond tofu and sake ice cream at Yopparai (a Sake Bar and restaurant) in NYC
I recently had dinner at Yopparai (a Sake bar and restaurant) in the Lower East Side. I remember having heard about the sake and the wonderful, funky cocktails there. Having been to Yopparai, I think it has the most unique dishes among Japanese restaurants in NYC, besides the usual items. We relished most if not […]
Table Verte – the only French Vegetarian restaurant in NYC
This post is no longer valid. This restaurant, sadly, closed as of Dec 2013. RIP Table Verte….. ——————– French and vegetarian? Yes, that is what Table Verte (Green Table??) is. It’s a (relatively) new vegetarian restaurant in the East Village / Alphabet City area providing more vegetarian options to NYC. Table Verte offers vegetarian, vegan, and […]

The best vegan restaurant in NYC…
… is Cafe Blossom on the Upper West Side. Don’t take my word for it – Time Out New York rated Blossom – the best vegetarian restaurant in NYC two years in a row (2008 and 2009). I know, I know – vegetarian and vegan are different, but Time Out Magazine probably does not have […]
Almayass: Good but not Amazing Armenian-Lebanese food
Almayass is a relatively new Armenian-Lebanese restaurant in Gramercy / Flat-iron district in NYC – it opened in Spring 2012. It is owned by a brother-sister duo (Varak and Alidz Alexandrian) with other family members contributing to the menu design and the decor. Many reviews that I read were favorable including this one from […]
