I went to visit another long time favorite restaurant, Soy and Sake, only to discover that it had shut down forever on the same day that Gobo closed its doors. Now I am wondering whether there is a connection.
Could it be a coincidence that two of the best vegetarian restaurants in New York City both close, after many years in business, on exactly the same day? Or is it just that August 30 is a common “last day of lease” date, and that both establishments happened to get caught up in the same general rent spike?
I am suddenly feeling very protective of our city’s remaining veggie restaurants. On the one hand, there are still a lot of them left here. On the other hand, the U.S. once had so many passenger pigeons that the sky would go dark whenever a flock would fly overhead.
And look how that turned out.
What a bummer!
My brother and I had dinner at Peacefood Cafe tonight (near Union Square). I’m guessing it isn’t up to the quality of the others you mentioned (which I’ve never tried) but it was decent. The vegan chocolate ganache cake was quite good.
A complex carnivore conversion conspiracy.
Complete concurrence, comrade! Can carnivores comprehend creature consciousness? Conscious compassion confers considerable clarity.
