"'Bring lots of dollar bills! The most expensive item is $4, and it's all doggy bag–size.' So instructed New York Press beer columnist Joshua M. Bernstein. He'd proposed 'a crazy vegetarian lunch crawl' along Nostrand Avenue, in the borderland between Prospect Heights and Crown Heights, and I'd eagerly accepted."

"The vegetarian options along the Nostrand Avenue corridor stretch farther than the eye can see. Every other awning, it seems, is emblazoned with the word 'vegetarian,' marking spaces that range from six-foot-wide holes-in-the-wall to sit-down lunch spots..."

"... As we stand on a corner and peer down the street, cruise director Bernstein lays out the agenda: doubles, roti, tofu patties and maybe an aloo pie."
