• Fave food in NY- approachable for non-veg friends

Peacefood is my one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The environment is mad relaxed and there is food for every mood: raw pizza, salads, chickpea fries, burgers, green smoothies, and the most delicious desserts. You must try their grasshopper ice cream sandwich. This is also one of the most approachable vegan restaurants in the city for non-vegetarians, as well. They have more "adventurous" dishes for dedicated vegans as well as twists on more traditional foods ("safer" options for non-veg, or for those of us craving comfort favorites) like mock chicken nuggets. The service here is pretty fast- don't get discouraged if there is a line when you walk in- and the prices are not too bad given the quality of ingredients and its location. At the front, they have vegan cookbooks, mags, and guidebooks to veg restaurants in NYC.
