Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 hi, i will be going to CT (westport area) and NYC with my 4 little ones and i am wondering if anyone has some places to go to eat. i really don't like to eat at restaurants that serve meat but in CT i am sure i will be forced to. i know of bloodroot in bridgeport but not sure of any others. we will be in different areas of NYC so anyplace that would be suitable for a 1YO, 3YO, 5YO and 6YO who like chinese food but are open to some others like italien and smoothie type places. thanks, heather Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 there's a cool little mexican/american place in Larchmont NY, and I think they have one in NYC too. It's called Harry's Burritos and has a lot of veg and vegan options like soy sour cream and all sorts of alternatives. Larchmont is exit 17 heading N on 95. Exit 18A if you stop coming back from CT. Have a nice trip!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi, A couple years back, there was a cool little diner in CT that served vegan and non-veg food called the Fairfield Diner and Vegetarian Enclave - I don't know if it's still there. In NYC, check out these guides to veg dining: - http://supervegan.com/restaurants.php - http://vegannyc.com/ - http://nymag.com/nymetro/food/features/10778/ - http://newyork.citysearch.com/bestof/winners/vegetarian_food - http://www.friendsofanimals.org/programs/vegetarianism/restaurant- guides/new-york-vegan-restaurant-guide.html Enjoy your trip to the Big Apple - one of the main reasons to live here is the food! ~ Jessica, mother of 2-year-old Maddie , Heather Vargas <formy4ms wrote: > > hi, > i will be going to CT (westport area) and NYC with my 4 little ones and i am wondering if anyone has some places to go to eat. i really don't like to eat at restaurants that serve meat but in CT i am sure i will be forced to. i know of bloodroot in bridgeport but not sure of any others. we will be in different areas of NYC so anyplace that would be suitable for a 1YO, 3YO, 5YO and 6YO who like chinese food but are open to some others like italien and smoothie type places. > thanks, > heather > > > > Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Heather, For NYC, I would recommend Quantum Leap in the West Village (http://www.menupages.com/restaurantdetails.asp? neighborhoodid=0 & restaurantid=519) and the Vegetarian Dim Sum House in Chinatown (http://www.vegetariandshouse.com). Both places get pretty busy on the weekends during prime brunch hours, but if you go early or late afternoon, it's fine. Since this is my first post, I'll introduce myself a bit. My husband and I became vegetarian together 10 years ago. We would probably be considered junk food vegetarians as we aren't big on cooking. We live in manhattan so we are lucky to have a lot of good vegetarian takeout options. However, I'm really trying to change that after our son was born last August. I bought the Super Baby Food book based on recommendations I read here to make my son's food at home. I've also joined a CSA this year with plans to start cooking great vegetarian meals at home with fresh local produce (I think I'll buy a crock pot after the group's discussion last month about dinner ideas). Even though Lucian is just barely starting solids, it's funny how many people ask me if I will raise my son vegetarian too (like I would cook up some meat for my little baby when I wouldn't eat it myself But, I realize they don't mean anything by it; it's just new and different to them so I try to educate people along the way when I can. I have already learned so many great things from this group about raising vegetarian children and how to deal with things as they come up. I really appreciate all the wonderful information and supportive environment. thank you everyone, rachael , Heather Vargas <formy4ms wrote: > > hi, > i will be going to CT (westport area) and NYC with my 4 little ones and i am wondering if anyone has some places to go to eat. i really don't like to eat at restaurants that serve meat but in CT i am sure i will be forced to. i know of bloodroot in bridgeport but not sure of any others. we will be in different areas of NYC so anyplace that would be suitable for a 1YO, 3YO, 5YO and 6YO who like chinese food but are open to some others like italien and smoothie type places. > thanks, > heather > > > > Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 There are a zillion veg places in NYC, two of my favorites are the vegetarian soul food restaurant which has AWESOME veggie fried 'chicken' sandwiches called Red Bamboo, and Teany which is a tiny litte tea house that is vegan and serves some sandwiches and kid friendly fare. I highly recommend the BLT. As for chinese, there is a place called Buddah Boddai (in Flushing)that is so amazing. Here is a great resource: http://www.friendsofanimals.org/programs/vegetarianism/restaurant-guides/new-yor\ k-vegan-restaurant-guide.html ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 there is also a buddah bodai restaurant in chinatown in case you don't get out to queens (www.chinatownvegetarian.com). two other places just came to mind: curly's lunch (www.curlyslunch.com) and zen palate (www.zenpalate.com). Curly's is east of union square and zen palate has 4 locations in manhattan (theatre district, union square, financial district and midtown east). , Shirley <mybluerat wrote: > > There are a zillion veg places in NYC, two of my > favorites are the vegetarian soul food restaurant > which has AWESOME veggie fried 'chicken' sandwiches > called Red Bamboo, and Teany which is a tiny litte tea > house that is vegan and serves some sandwiches and kid > friendly fare.
