Restaurant Review: Raw Star Café
Raw Star Café 687 Washington Avenue (between Saint Mark’s Avenue and Prospect Avenue) Prospect Heights, Brooklyn 718-975-0304 Vegiboys Rating (3.5/4) Brooklyn’s Raw Star Café, located only a few blocks from the Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkways, deserves the awareness of the NYC vegi-loving crowd.

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.

Vegan’s Delight 3565C Boston Road (at Tiemann Avenue) Willamsbridge, Bronx 718-653-4140 Vegiboys Rating (2.5/4) Vegan’s Delight is one of a handful of I-tal food venues in the city (the cuisine uses a term derived from “I†and “vitalâ€, catering to the culinary expectations of the Rastifarian movement, with pure, natural, carefully prepared foods). The kitchen […]
