After a day of following the ghosts of my ancestors to Ellis Island, I wanted to go to a Russian restaurant (as they always close down in Australia) - always a risk for someone GF and vego, but I was pleasantly surpised. We went to Onegin, a restaurant based around the poem by Pushkin. The staff were very helpful and we had a fabulous meal...although Jay was rather overwhelmed by the extent of the pickling in the case of the pickles, and alas the potato salad had meat in it :( The decor was fabulous. The beetroot salad was sublime and the vodka wasn't bad either :p They have burlesque shows here on Fridays, me thinks Melinda Farenheit would fit in just fine :)
Last but not least, vegetarians in New York make sure you go to Bhojan, or one of the other numerous vegetarian Indian and kosher restauarants at "Curry Hill". Its always exciting being able to choose pretty much anything on the menu, but the food was absolutely fanastic - and really rivalled some of the expensive Indian food we got in DC (although definitely simpler and less "fancy"). Simla aloo gobi was so yum!
