New York, NY

Best Vegan in New York.

Harry currently ranks 10 vegan spots in New York, scoring 86–97 on the Harry Score.

Harry judges vegan food as food, not as an apology for something else. The kitchen has to cook vegetables like it chose them — char, acid, salt, texture — rather than auditioning imitations of meat. The best vegan restaurants don't ask for a handicap, and here they don't get one.
