Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Kim- Check out Zen Palate. Its an amazing veggie asian restaurant with lots of seitan dishes and such. There are a few locations around Manhatten, but the best one is at Union Square. I used to eat there once a week when I lived in NYC.
