replying to u/thansal: The kinda standard list goes: * Superiority Burger - fucking duh. * Dirt Candy - fucking duh. * Carvan of Dreams - old school hippie * [Overthrow Hospitality](https://www.overthrowhospitality.com/) - Vegan in whatever style you want, I love them. * Spicy Moon - Vegan Szechuan, awesome. * jajaja - vegan Mexican, bit heavy on the fake <animal products> front for my tastes (though my lactose intolerance does like things like vegan sour cream). * Ro's Diner - Reincarnation of Champ's, a greasy spoon. * Hangawii - Vegan Korean * Just about anywhere - Vegetarian is pretty well represented in most good restaurants (with obvious exceptions for the temples of meat). Le Bernardin is supposed to have a good veg menu, as do a few other top tasting menu places. Indian food. etc.
