Hailey’s Vegan Dining Wishlist Part I: My Favorite Plant-Based Hotspots in NYC
As a high-end companion in New York City, my days are often filled with fine dining, exclusive experiences, and ardent adventures. But here's a fun little fact about me: I’m a total foodie, and one of my passions is discovering the best vegan dining spots in the city. Whether you’re a committed vegan, curious about plant-based cuisine, or just want to impress me on our next date (hint, hint), I’ve curated a list of my favorite vegan restaurants, along with a few that are on my must-try wishlist.
I promise, these places will tantalize your taste buds and make you question why you ever needed animal products in the first place. Ready to dive into the vibrant world of vegan dining with me? Let’s go!
1. Le Botaniste – A Healthy Romantic Escape
Located on the Upper East Side and SoHo, Le Botaniste is one of my absolute favorites for a casual vegan dining experience. This cozy apothecary-inspired eatery offers a 100% plant-based menu that’s both nourishing and incredibly delicious. Their Tibetan Mama bowl, made with coconut peanut curry, is to die for! I always feel refreshed and energized after eating here.
If you're up for some fun, we could share a bottle of organic wine (yes, they’re organic and natural too!) while I tell you some silly stories from my adventures. I’ll keep it flirty and fun, just like our evening will be. 😉

2. Eleven Madison Park – Plant-Based Perfection at a Michelin-Starred Restaurant
Oh, now this one is a must! While Eleven Madison Park was always known for its decadence and gourmet experiences, they’ve made headlines for transitioning to a fully plant-based menu. Michelin-starred and all vegan? Yes, please! Just imagine us there, surrounded by the breathtaking ambiance, savoring intricate dishes made from fresh, seasonal ingredients.
This is the perfect spot for an upscale, romantic night out. We’ll enjoy an intimate evening full of creative plant-based dishes, with each bite bursting with flavor. I can’t wait to try their famed roasted eggplant dish. It’s on my wishlist, and maybe we could check it off together!

3. Jajaja Mexicana – A Playful, Plant-Based Fiesta!
Jajaja Mexicana is where vegan food meets playful vibes and delicious cocktails. This trendy Lower East Side gem offers plant-based Mexican food that’s anything but boring. Think: enchiladas, nachos, and churros—all vegan! Their jackfruit tacos are my go-to, and trust me, they’ll have you thinking twice about traditional carnitas. 🌮
I love the casual and fun atmosphere here. The bright, colorful décor matches my mood on days when I’m feeling extra silly and playful. It’s the perfect spot for a low-key and flirty lunch or dinner date.

4. Modern Love Brooklyn – Comfort Food, But Make It Vegan
Sometimes a girl just wants to indulge in a little comfort food, and Modern Love Brooklyn is the perfect spot for that. They’re known for vegan versions of classic comfort dishes like mac ‘n’ cheese, mashed potatoes, and even meatloaf. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
I’d love to cozy up with you in a booth here and share a huge plate of their famous mac ‘n’ shews. You bring the charm, I’ll bring the witty banter, and we’ll let the food take care of the rest. 😊

5. Cadence – Soul Food with a Vegan Twist
I’ve been dying to try Cadence! This East Village spot is known for its Southern-inspired vegan cuisine, and I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews. Fried lasagna, black-eyed peas, and smoked grits—can you imagine how amazing that sounds? Their food is the epitome of comfort with a touch of class.
It’s on my wishlist for a cozy, intimate dinner date. I can already picture us sipping on their house-made cocktails while indulging in soulful flavors. It’ll be the perfect balance of seductive ambiance and comfort food.

6. Avant Garden – Elevated Plant-Based Dining in the East Village
For an elegant vibe, Avant Garden is the place to be. The East Village restaurant offers beautifully plated, seasonal dishes that are 100% vegan and bursting with creativity. I’ve already fallen in love with their charred cauliflower and king oyster mushrooms, and I’m pretty sure you will too.
The intimate setting is perfect for deep conversations, lingering eye contact, and a night that slowly builds into something unforgettable. I’ll dress the part—chic, seductive, and maybe just a little daring—ready for whatever adventures the night brings us.
