Candle 79 is a more upscale dining experience. Located on the Upper East Side the price range is what you would expect of any fine dining experience, but don’t let that sway you.

Terri NYC is another fantastic plant based food joint if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat. I recommend the Terri “meatball” sub, and the sweet potato wedges. So filling! Their menu is quite diverse with, a large selection of juices, smoothies, wraps, breakfast, salads, soups and sides! And of course dessert! Terri has three locations in NYC: 60 West 23rd Street, 100 Maiden Lane, & 685 3rd Avenue.

Blossom Du Jour is the place to go to if you’re looking for a quick 100% vegan meal! My personal faves are The Midtown Melt, and The Skyscraper. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps, breakfast options, which are served all day and they also offer numerous gluten free items! In addition, Blosson Du Jour offers fresh juices, smoothies, and desserts! It’s is honestly way more than what anyone would expect from a vegan “fast food” spot!
