Loving Hut ~ Several United States Locations

Absolutely decadent and delicious, vegan faire. Loving Hut prides itself on being healthy neighborhood cuisine and they get two thumbs up for taste, variety, presentation, and the overall loving nature and customer service of the entire staff. Certainly not your ordinary strip mall experience, and yet an experience that no vegan will forget. This food is mouth watering good.  There are great selections of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts Gourmet, asian influenced international cuisine. Nice, casual atmosphere. Click the link above for the list of several US locations. We actually ate at the Glendale, Arizona location and are eager to try Loving Hut in San Francisco.
Moderately Priced.

Peacefood Cafe ~ NYC

Peacefood Cafe is an organic vegan restaurant/cafe/bakery also located in the Upper West Side of New York City on Amsterdam Avenue at 82nd Street. It's a casual cafe style eatery where you order your food at the counter then find a table and the wait staff brings it to you according to your number. It's very clean and hip with chic decor and trendy music. They have a variety of raw, cooked and baked goods. I sampled the Tahini Sprouts Sandwich, the Vegetable Tempura and the Chocolate Brownies paired with a Soy Latte for dessert. Other dessert items include strawberry shortcake, cheesecake, coconut cream pie, tiramisu, key lime pie and many more. It was all super fresh and scrumptious. I highly recommend this place. They are open for lunch and dinner. Peacefood cafe also has a sign requesting that you tell your waitperson if you have a nut allergy so that they can make sure to prepare your meal nut-free. Easily accessible by subway.
Sides and Entree's $6 - $11.

Blossom ~ New York City Veggie Hotspot

Blossom Restaurant located on Colombus Avenue in the Upper West Side was a real treat. It's a vegan restaurant ready to stand up to the most discriminating omnivores. The food was tasty and the proportions plenty. Not to mention the posh ambiance, a perfect fit for Upper Westside dining. Everything that I tasted was delicious and impeccably prepared. The food was both pleasing to the eyes and to the palate. From the Black Eyed Pea Cake, to the hearty Lentil Soup, to the Tofu Tempura, the Autumn Sweet Potato Rolls or the Seitan Skewers. You can't go wrong at this restaurant. It's great for the whole family. I think your meat loving friends will thoroughly enjoy it too. And it's certainly a great place to treat your vegetarian/vegan beloved. It's also equipped with a bar and has nice selections of wines to pair with your meal.

We dined at the Upper Westside location. The neighborhood is known for it's boutique retail shops and the restaurant is only a couple blocks from Central Park. It's upscale and easily accessible by subway or taxi. There is also a Blossom restaurant located in the Chelsea district.
