OK here are some brunch options. They are all in the Chelsea/West Village area, because that's the area of the city I'm most familiar with, but I'm not really super familiar with anywhere, so I'm open to suggestions from the locals.
1) Westville. Tons of vegan options, also non-vegan options, takes reservations, about a half mile from the Christopher Street PATH station, comes highly recommended.
2) Cowgirl. Fewer vegan options, doesn't take reservations, but extremely close to the Christopher Street PATH station (like, 500 feet), I've eaten there a bunch and like it.
3) Havana Alma de Cuba. Vegan options probably limited to beans and rice and plantains (but those are some of my favorite foods), Cuban food yum!, 700 feet from the Christopher Street station, takes reservations, but only up to parties of four, but they have a big dining room.
Preferences? How many are we? Tom and Hil are in. Anyone else? I think Vortex was a maybe. If I can get a headcount and a time, I can make a reservation, if we decide on a place that takes reservations.
Also, like I said, I'm open to other places. I'm not from here!
Ellary's Greens looks good: [link] Or Wild: [link] I've also been hearing good things about The Butcher's Daughter, which is vegetarian but not vegan, so they've got eggs and stuff but no meat. [link]
There's also Village Natural, though I can't find a website for them, but here's their menu on allmenus: [link]
Hil, all of those sound great! I'd be happy to go anywhere, really. But I woke up sick with a pretty bad sore throat this morning, and I'm waiting to see how I feel after I'm awake for awhile. Can we play it by ear? If I'm feeling super crappy, I may not feel like going out, especially since I didn't bring a winter coat with me this trip.
Sure, no problem. Feel better!
I slept on and off for most of the day, and I still feel pretty crappy, so I don't think I'm up for brunch. Sorry to miss out on seeing you, Hil, and sorry to miss out on seeing you a second time, Scola!
I'm actually not feeling great, either -- I was just coming here to say that I couldn't go. Hope you're feeling better!
San Franciscans! I will be in your lovely town in a couple of weeks. I'll be around and free on 1/19 afternoon/evening and 1/22 until my redeye out at 10:45.
People need to start coming to SF over the weekend too.
Oooh!
Weekdays are hard for me, but I would love to see you if we can work it out.
