Does anyone else realize what an ignorant statement this is?: “I’m ain’t eating anywhere that doesn’t at least kill a few animals to make its menu.”
Besides this statement, here’s a couple facts:
There are lots of vegetarians and vegans who love good food and are willing to pay for it, and who work in midtown. Therefore, we need good places to satisfy this market.
I work on 49th and 6th and there are lots of vegetarians in my office alone. Especially with the demographics of offices changing (more younger people, more creative types filling the office space left vacant by financial firms during the recession) there’s definitely a market that’s currently only marginally satisfied by veg-options at Pret, Chipotle, salad bars and a couple falafel joints.
“Where’s the beef” is not a valid “con” either, IMHO, which you’d probably agree with if you had any idea where that beef is coming from and what went into making your burger.
Otherwise, I see your point about reviewing this from a meat-eaters perspective, but at least pretend like you’d give it a fair review based on the taste of the food? Thanks for reviewing a veggie place anyway. They’re sorely needed in midtown!

But there is vegan bread? I know there’s gluten-free bread out there.

According to this that +/- I’m suspecting what you had was so good that the only reason one may not like it is because it’s simply not meat? I’m going to hold you and pretend that there’s no bias in that review. =/

I’m in Herald Square, too, Wwwhitney! I think Steve is near us also! We keep having brushes with lunchtime decency that are taken away from us (El Rey de Sabor cart moved, that extra Kwik Meal Cart moved….) alas… We must band together!

Well, great. Now that we have the 2010 obligatory ML vegan post out of the way, let’s get back to REAL food!

Woohoo! As the lone (maybe not?) vegan Midtown Lunch reader and with an office in Herald’s Square to boot, I’m excited! Thanks for spotlighting this, would have taken me months probably to find it otherwise.

I don’t think that bread is vegan….my mom wraps everything in kale or collard greens.
