Why It Belongs on the List
One of the best vegetarian restaurants in America — Brooks Headley's tiny East Village counter serves a short, rotating menu of vegetarian and vegan food that is more creative, more seasonal, and more delicious than virtually any meat-focused restaurant at any price point. The burger is legendary.
