Restaurant Review: Green Bean Café
Green Bean Café 1413 York Avenue (between 75th Street and 76th Street) Upper East Side, Manhattan 212-861-1539 Vegiboys Rating (2/4) Green Bean is a cute hole-in-the-wall café on the Upper East Side, but unfortunately that’s where its positive traits end. It markets itself as a full service restaurant, and continuously provided us with a very […]

Restaurant Review: Punjabi
Punjabi 114 East 1st Street (between 1st Avenue and Avenue A) East Village, Manhattan 212-533-3356 Vegiboys Rating (3/4) Punjabi is a narrow sliver of space, found half-underground on Houston Street across from the renowned Katz’s Delicatessen. As a claustrophobic hybrid of convenience store and eatery, don’t expect to find any bells and whistles in your dining […]
