A few weeks
ago, we were in NYC. She and I are veggies, and here is what we found.
Several
writers, poets like Jose Martí, musicians like Lenny Kravitz, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Alicia Keys… So many people have written special words about New York City. I’m
not in that level, even the English is not my first language, but I really loved
that city: big enough to understand how minimum is your live, crazy enough to
make you think about its frenetic way of being, expensive enough to understand
how much money have the people and the countries (specially when you come from
Latin America).
If you have
the opportunity, please go there. It doesn't matter if it’s for long or short
time: go there.
I’m not an American
lover, but I do really appreciate how has built NYC: it’s a synthesis of the whole
world, the place where everybody was welcomed in the XIX century, the city where
you find several nationalities waiting a traffic light.
There are
three places I would like to suggest for veggies, because they are good and not
so expensive.
1. Chipotle
Mexican Grill
Bowls are
the best if you have hungry, or if you want a day just with two meals.
Vegan
sofritas are really good, just a little bit spicy.
There you
will pay for two bowls, two sodas and chips: 33,15
There are ten
between Broadway and Battery Park.
2. Shake shack
It was not
the best. But we really like the fries, and I enjoyed the Shroom Burger.
For one Schroom
Burger, two fries and one Lemonade, we paid: 18,14
3. A breakfast in Applebee’s
They have
two restaurants near Times Square. One close by Madame Tussauds Museum
They have excellent
breakfasts for veggies. Unfortunately, I don’t have the check.
Alert: don’t try to go for lunch. They don’t have
options for veggies.
4. If it’s
winter: drink Hershey’s hot chocolate in the store
It keeps you
warm and energized. It costs five dollars.
Hope it is
useful for you.
