Restaurant Review: Four Seasons
Four Seasons 2281 Church Avenue (between Flatbush Avenue and Bedford Avenue) Flatbush, Brooklyn 718-693-7996 Vegiboys Rating (3/4) Four Seasons is very much designed as a neighborhood haunt; its location is off the beaten path for anyone travelling from outside of Flatbush, and the cool atmosphere seems designed for hanging out. The venue is Rastifarian at […]
Restaurant Review: Strictly Vegetarian
Strictly Vegetarian 2268 Church Avenue (between Bedford Avenue and Flatbush Avenue) Flatbush, Brooklyn 718-284-2543 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) Settled deep in the heart of Flatbush, visiting Strictly Vegetarian is a hike for anyone outside of the neighborhood, and it also sits directly across from the Four Seasons vegetarian restaurant, both offering a very similar Caribbean ‘ital […]
Restaurant Review: Zen Vegetarian House
Zen Vegetarian House 773 Flatbush Avenue (between Lenox Road and Clarkson Avenue) Flatbush, Brooklyn 718-282-2255 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) Crown Heights hosts a surprising number of vegetarian restaurants, including the recently renovated Zen Vegetarian House. With a huge menu and a comfortably modern interior, the venue offers a variety of Chinese and American-style fast-food options. For […]
Restaurant Review: Ital Shak
Ital Shak 780 Nostrand Avenue (between Saint John’s Place and Sterling Place) Crown Heights, Queens 718-773-6502 Vegiboys Rating (2/4) The hole-in-the-wall Ital Shak is one of two vegetarian kitchens found on Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, though is best for a quick bite to-go. The narrow interior lacks any seating (or even any shelves to […]
Restaurant Review: Imhotep’s
Imhotep’s 734 Nostrand Avenue (between between Park Place and Prospect Place) Crown Heights, Queens 718-493-2395 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) Crown Heights hosts a surprising number of vegetarian venues, including Rastifarian ‘ital establishment Imhotep’s. Situated inside a health food grocer of the same name, the eat-in portion of the store is nonetheless much more official than similar […]
Restaurant Review: Dao Palate
Dao Palate 329 Flatbush Avenue (between Park Place and Prospect Place) Prospect Heights, Brooklyn 718-638-1995 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) We entered Dao Palate knowing the restaurant’s owners were the same as Williamsburg’s Wild Ginger. The dining room had a very similar feel; the décor was modern and the space was calming with windows open to the […]
Restaurant Review: Vegetarian Palate
Vegetarian Palate 258 Flatbush Avenue (between Prospect Place and Saint Mark’s Avenue) Prospect Heights, Brooklyn 718-623-8808 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) Discretely folded into the many commercial storefronts of Flatbush Avenue, Vegetarian Palate has all the trappings of any typical Chinese food restaurant. The cookie-cutter design and the polite (though sometimes confused) service both fail to create […]
Restaurant Review: Wild Ginger (Williamsburg)
Wild Ginger 212 Bedford Avenue (between North 5th Street and North 6th Street) Williamsburg, Brooklyn 718-218-8828 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) Sitting amongst the varied restaurants of Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, this Wild Ginger should not be confused with the totally unaffiliated Lower East Side restaurant. Aside from the name and an Asian-themed menu, the two hold little […]
Restaurant Review: Vegetarian Ginger
Vegetarian Ginger 128 Montague Street, 2nd Floor (at Henry Street) Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn 718-246-1288 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) The Montague Street strip in Brooklyn Heights, with its innumerable restaurants and shops, makes for a fun spot to check out the Brooklyn Heights scene… And along the strip, there is perhaps no better single place to people […]
