Ital Shak

I just ate one peas and one veggie "fish" patty last night for dinner, they are totally delicious! Love the Ital Shack! And they stay open late.

I also love the natural foods grocery a few stores down, they stay open till 9pm, and carry my brand of organic yogurt, Erivan.

The old Ital Shak on Nostrand was good.  I used to grab lunch there from time to time.  It closed several years ago.  The place off Franklin is Ital Kitchen.  I don't think they're affiliated with each other.  The area has always had a wonderful range of vegetarian/vegan friendly options.  Having been vegan for 20 years, the food at the old Veggie Castle on Church compared favorably with just about anything else I've eaten out in Brooklyn over the years, and the portions were extremely generous.  Very similar set up and food to the Uptown Juice Bar on 125th in Harlem.  I live around the corner from this place and still haven't been there.  I need to check it out sometime.

I didn't even realize they'd moved.  That's been one of my go to spots. Though since I cut soy out of my diet I haven't been eating there as much, as a lot of their best stuff is soy based.
