Taïm is the love child of husband and wife team, Chef Einat Admony and Stefan Nafziger. In 2005, homesick for the favorite street food of Tel Aviv, they heard of a tiny store front available on quiet Waverly place and decided to open their own falafel shop. Relying on her years of international cooking experience as well as her roots, Einat created a menu centered around street food with a gourmet twist. The freshness and quality of the ingredients coupled with Taïm’s spin on traditional falafel flavors give new meaning to the concept of fast food. Taïm serves falafels, hummus, smoothies, and salads.

Authentic Korean vegan vegetarian restaurant with beautiful Korean decor and wait staff dressed in traditional clothing. Here is what HanGawi shares about their philosophy on their website: Eating healthy Today there are many concerns regarding our health and many experts advising us how we should eat. We must pay close attention to our diets, but eating well should not only benefit your body, but your mind as well. We, at HanGawi believe that of all the ways that people can eat, vegetarianism is the healthiest and safest diet. We started HanGawi so that people might learn how to eat a healthy diet and to provide those who are already vegetarians a complete vegetarian meal. Many people know that vegetarianism is a healthy way of eating but many do not know how to eat a balanced vegetarian diet. As native Koreans, we have the benefit of understanding traditional Korean cuisine and quickly saw that there were many vegetarian dishes we could introduce to Westerners. Um and Yang Throughout Asia, there is a strong belief in harmony and balance embodied in the principles of yin and yang, or um and yang as it is known in Korean. Everything in nature is balanced by the opposing forces of yin and yang: moon and sun, man and women, fire and water. In order to achieve good health, the food you eat must also be a balance of these forces of um and yang. A healthy vegetarian diet should be a balance of um foods such as green vegetables and fruits, and yang foods such as roots, radishes, carrots, and potatoes. An imbalance will cause bad health. At HanGawi, we provide our guests with balanced vegetarian meals that are nourishing and most ideal in achieving a healthy diet.

As a human race, it is becoming more and more obvious that our diet – and the way we eat – is changing: Meat is moving off center-stage and the spotlight is turning to fresh fruits and vegetables. At The Butcher’s Daughter, we treat fruits and vegetables as a butcher would meat: We chop, fillet and carve fresh produce into heathy vegetarian dishes and press them into pretty juices. The Butcher’s Daughter serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch in a 35-seat light-filled space. During the warmer months, our sidewalk terrace expands with an additional 30 seats outside. We take pride in our daily-changing menu, which is 100% vegetarian and non-dairy. Most of our menu items are vegan and gluten-free, and we can always prepare substitutions for most dietary restrictions.

In the summer of 2004, Pure Food and Wine opened its doors as New York City’s first upscale raw vegan restaurant. Located on Irving Place, just one block from Union Square and its giant farmer’s market, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting setting with a menu full of creative and seasonal raw dishes, a long and thoughtful wine list, and seasonal sake cocktails. Our menu is entirely plant based and does not use any processed ingredients. Nothing is heated above approximately 118 degrees in order to preserve vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. The restaurant has been featured twice in New York magazine’s “Top 100 Restaurants” list and has appeared five years in a row in Forbes magazine’s list of “All Star New York Eateries.” “‘Raw’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not usually adjectives associated with haute cuisine, but at Pure Food and Wine, as if by magic, such ingredients are turned into exquisite and exotically delicious offerings.” – Forbes December 2007 “Pure Food and Wine’s menu of raw vegetable concoctions may make this the Big Apple’s most unusual restaurant—as well as one of its best.” – Forbes December 2008 During winter months, the restaurant seats 64 indoors and 16 in our back dining room, which can also be booked for private dinners. In the spring and summer, our private back garden space seats an additional 70. There is a bar space both indoors and out for just drinks, dessert, or a full dinner. The restaurant serves its dinner menu nightly from 5:30pm to 11:00pm. Our dining room and outdoor garden are open for lunch daily from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. Around the corner from the restaurant you’ll find One Lucky Duck Juice & Takeaway, open every day from 9:00am to 11:00pm for juices, shakes, ice cream, cookies, desserts, and takeaway food from our kitchen. The restaurant’s lunch menu is available here as well all day and evening. The shop also carries the snacks and some of the ingredients, skincare, and other products from our One Lucky Duck online store. We also have a One Lucky Duck Juice & Takeaway in NYC’s Chelsea Market. To learn more about these locations visit the “juice & takeaway” tab. Pure Food and Wine was co-founded by Sarma Melngailis, who was also co-executive chef, and then executive chef. Since becoming preoccupied with all things One Lucky Duck, the amazing people in our kitchens are in charge and responsible for the creation of all of our new and always changing, seasonal dishes and desserts. Nikki Bennett is our executive chef, and Anthony Buison and David Kupperberg are our sous chefs. Jaime Studley is our pastry chef and Jodie Dupuy is our pastry sous chef. Joey Repice is the man behind the bar, who selects all of our wines, and crafts our beloved seasonal sake cocktail menu. Our wines are biodynamic, organic, or simply sustainable, which usually means they’re from vineyards that practice organic methods, but have not been certified. Our sake cocktails are made using organic Momokawa sake from Oregon, mixed with organic fresh pressed juices, fresh herbs, and exotic flavors. We were also the very first restaurant in New York City to have sake on tap (organic Momokawa sake). We love our sake on tap as it greatly reduces our consumption of glass bottles! From people who have never tried Pure Food and Wine, we sometimes hear, “Oh, I’m a meat and potatoes guy (it’s usually guys saying this!); I don’t think it’s for me.” On the contrary, we have lots of regular and repeat guests who eat plenty of meat and potatoes and also regularly come for dinner, dessert and takeaway. In fact, we think (though it’s hard to confirm) that most of our guests are not strictly vegan or raw. Also, if you’re sensitive to dairy or not a big fan of gluten, you’ll be especially happy (especially with dessert and ice cream) since we don’t use dairy or gluten products*. Finally, there is also no tofu, tempeh or seitan anywhere on the menu. All the water in our restaurant is filtered through a Tensui water filtration system. *we use gluten free ingredients in all of our recipes, with one noted exception. You can find many of the restaurant’s recipes in our two books, Raw Food Real World and Living Raw Food.
