Thanksgiving dinner

femmedada · November 2006

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good restaurant in Brooklyn or Manhattan that will be serving vegetarian food (doesn't have to be vegan) on Thanksgiving Day?

We've been to Magnolia and, while it's nice, we'd like to try someplace else.

Thanks so much,

Femme

Wow, VeggieQueen--

I was just signing on to say that I'd learned that Counter on the Lower East Side is having a Thanksgiving dinner/wine pairing. Fortunately, I was able to get reservations.

Thanks so much for your response.

Best, Femme

yea that's what i've been to before... for valentine's day and new year's eve. unfortunately when i went it was a little chaotic... they didn't leave enough time between the seatings for the turnover. you are also packed in like sardines. hopefully they've had a few more of these prix fixe dinners to iron out the kinks.

but, i think the food is wonderful and both occasions were very festive. we'll probably be back for new year's!

you can order a bunch of "sides" from applewood for about $100 for 2 people.

do ppl really like hangawi? I find it really bland and boring. and, of course, way too quiet. it's also damn expensive (for what you get).

The reviews are mixed. A vegan friend from North Carolina raves about Hangawi and swears if she had the money, she'd eat there daily. A meat-eating friend, who grew up in Korea, says it's a good place to get screwed eating overpriced, pseudo-Korean food.

That's exactly how I feel about Tsampa on East 9th Street in Manhattan. Tsampa's food is not as expensive as Hangawi, but it did not excite me.
