movint to NYC!!!! plus visiting Phoenix soon......any vegan info about either?

[Guest guest]

hey folks.....

Im making a huge move to NYC in about a month...really excited because

vegan life in small town midwest is difficult to say the least. I've

never been there before...can anybody suggest good places to eat/shop?

Also, I am visiting Phoenix AZ for a week and wondering the same about

that city. Thanks for any help!

I'm so jealous! I love NYC!

 

Here are a couple of links

Couple of suggestions:

 

I've never been here - but I have the cookbook and I've heard great

things about it:

I have eaten here and loved it!

Shopping:

 

There are numerous specialty shops in NCY - and I've been to the green

market on Union Square (across from the Zen Palate).

 

Good luck!!!
