4. Caravan of Dreams
Being the oldest organic vegan restaurant in all of New York City, we don’t think Caravan of Dreams gets enough love. Near the Ukrainian Village in Lower Manhattan, Caravan of Dreams has been serving a Mediterranean-influenced menu since 1991 from its quaint blue hole-in-the-wall spot.
Complete with dishes that satisfy both traditional vegan diets and raw ones, Caravan of Dreams has a variety of options such as nachos, plant-based reubens, and stir-fries. The restaurant also supplies health-conscious visitors with a multitude of freshly pressed juices and shakes, along with coffee lovers’ favorites like cappuccinos and macchiatos. The well-decorated and colorful interior complemented by outdoor seating options and occasional live music makes this spot a must-try for vegans and non-vegans all over the city.
