The tiny Red Bamboo vegetarian/vegan restaurant came highly recommended by one of our readers. We hear the buffalo wings and baroque chicken are just two of the specialties to be found on an Asian, Creole and Caribbean fusion menu. Be sure to save room for dessert –  like ice cream. Red Bamboo is located at 140 West 4th Street, between 6th Avenue and Macdougal.
