There are NYC vegetarian restaurants that specialize in every kind of food genre under the sun, from exotic faux-meats to classic deli options to health foods. NYC is one of the best places in the United States to find great vegetarian restaurants, and there is at least one for every taste, and every budget.

VP2, also known as Vegetarian’s Paradise 2, is the standout choice among NYC vegetarian restaurants that specialize in faux-meat meals. The menu at Vegetarian’s Paradise 2 is made up of items like “beef,” “chicken” and “fish,” all made out of soy protein, wheat gluten, and other completely vegetarian products. However, you wouldn’t know it from biting into a luscious slice of orange beef, or a chunk of shrimp mixed into the scrumptious pad thai. Many NYC vegetarian restaurants offer gluten or soy based “meats,” but Vegetarian’s Paradise 2 is the best at creating sauces and dishes that make the illusion as convincing as humanly possible. Vegetarian’s Paradise 2 is in the middle of the price range for NYC vegetarian restaurants, with entrees ranging from about eight to twelve dollars.
B & H Dairy Restaurant
