Allergy and Vegan-Friendly New York Top Picks

Hi! I’m Maya and I recently traveled to New York City to visit family and friends and attend Governor’s Ball, a music festival! I found many safe places to eat while managing peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, and chickpea allergies, and being vegan. One of my favorite places to eat was Anixi Mediterranean Vegan Restaurant where I got a tofu mushroom Kabob. If you travel there a must-do activity is to grab bagels and walk around the Upper East Side to admire the brownstones, then make your way to Central Park and have a picnic.

Jajaja Mexicana

“Fully vegan Mexican food and menu. I got a burrito with tofu, black beans, guac, and veggies. Their enchiladas were made out of jackfruit and very filling!”

THEP Thai Restaurant

“I loved my meal from Thep Thai, they were very accommodating and gave me suggestions on dishes to try that could be made vegan and made sure to identify any dishes with nuts and removed them.”

Anixi

“An ALL vegan Mediterranean restaurant in Chelsea. Staff immediately asked about allergens and pulled up on their tablet an exact list of foods I can eat and let me take a picture. Very interesting technology! Despite having chickpea allergies, which is prevalent in this cuisine, I had PLENTY of options. Besides that, this was the best food I’ve ever eaten and my family was with me and said that you wouldn’t even tell that it was vegan! The ambiance of the restaurant was cool and upscale. I can’t wait to go again”

Tufino Pizzeria

“Tufino pizzeria in Astoria is an Italians restaurant with vegan options! I got a wood fried pizza with Vega sausage, a harvest salad, and vegan mozzarella sticks with Violife cheese! It is hard to come by good vegan pizza, and this place was so filling and delicious!”

Franchia Vegan Café

“All vegan Asian fusion restaurant in midtown! Staff was super accommodating and explained all the ingredients to us and accommodated for my allergies. I went with my non Vegan friends and they were surprised at how good the food is! I got a stone bowl bibimbap with tempeh- the tempeh was fried and the texture was the best I have ever had!”

“Amazing Korean food, and the menu was entirely vegan. We got an assortment of authentic Korean food. The ambiance was cool too, very zen and you eat with your shoes off and sitting on the ground! Extremely filling, comforting, and satisfying food. Menu and staff were helpful”
