Harlem & Upper Manhattan
Run by a mother-and-son team, the Seasoned Vegan has earned a loyal following for its delicious twist on soul food. Everything here is organic, kosher and made entirely without animal products. You'll find creative takes on barbecued ribs (made with lotus root and fermented soy), po'boys (featuring yams) and mac 'n' cheese (made with cashew milk).
Go early, as waits can be long at prime time.
