Christmas Eve, New York City, vegetarian dining. Someone recently posted a list of NYC restaurants offering special meals on Christmas Eve, but I didn't see many (or any?) vegetarian options on there. Price and location aren't a big deal, I'm visiting with my sister and a friend of the family will be treating us. Neither the friend nor my sister eat eggs. I'd love to go to a great vegetarian restaurant or at least a place with a good vegetarian option. My main caveat is that the restaurant's atmosphere is more about the food and less about the ethics of a vegetarian diet. I've been to a few places with clumsy combinations of the two and been occasionally put off by menus of prancing cows and illustrated recycling tips. Help me find a delicious vegetarian feast that doesn't awaken my inner cynic.
