Ann Arbor
---------
Seva, 314 E. Liberty, 662-1111.
- Vegetarian. Excellent quality, and reasonable prices, and it is
vegan friendly too (egg and dairy clearly indicated). It is very
popular, and so reservations would be a good idea.
Almost all restaurants in Ann Arbor have substantial vegetarian
selections, and will often modify dishes to make them vegatarian.

Detroit
-------
Most restaurants in Metro Detroit are NOT vegetarian friendly;
here are some wonderful exceptions:
Vegetarian Restaurants:
Govinda's, 383 Lenox Avenue, 331-6740
- Hare Krishna vegetarian restaurant.
Pure N' Simple, 2791 Rochester Road, Troy, just north of I-75
entrance, (313) 528-0840
- Good food, big menu. Slow service, but worth the wait if you have
some time. Seventh Day Adventist. Open Sun 12-8; Mon-Thurs 11:30-8;
Fri 11:30-3; closed Saturday.
Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:
Inn Season, 500 E. 4th Street, downtown Royal Oak, (313) 547-7916
- Good food, almost all vegetarian except for a fish special. Very
popular; may have to wait on the sidewalk for 30 minutes during
peak hours (so dress warmly in winter).
Taste of Thailand, 2755 University Drive, Auburn Hills, close to I-75
entrance, (313) 373-4422
- Most Thai restaurants around Detroit have practically no vegetarian
entrees on the menu. Taste of Thailand offers most of its entrees
with the option of tofu. Food is superb. However keep in mind that
'Vegetarian' in Thai means 'substitute tofu for flesh'. Be sure to
insist on no fish sauce or other animal products.
Sweet Lorraine's Cafe, 29101 Greenfield, Southfield, (313) 559-5985
- Has a variety of vegetarian entrees and sandwiches on the menu.
Food is creative and tasty.
Anita's Kitchen, 110 W. Maple Road, Troy, (313) 362-0680
- Middle Eastern cuisine, with many Middle Eastern vegetarian dishes,
as well as a great veggie lasagna, and, best of all, several really
good vegetarian soups.
Good Food East, 74 W. Maple Road, Troy, (313) 362-0886
- Probably the largest health food store in Metro Detroit, with a deli
which I believe is entirely vegetarian, and a small cafe area.
Lansing

| Hearthstone Bakery & Vegetarian Cafe, 2 locations:
| 2003 E. Michigan, (517) 485-8600
| 208 Mac Avenue, East Lansing, (517) 333-3287

------
Thanks to Judith Underwood (under@cs.cornell.edu) for supplying the
section on Ithaca.
Generally a very good place for vegetarians. Few restaurants have
nothing vegetarian on the menu, though some Chinese places have little
more than mixed vegetables and vegetable chow mein.
| Vegetarian Restaurants:
| Cabbagetown Cafe, 404 Eddy Street, (607) 273-2847
| - One of the best. Vegan friendly. Small, quaint, moderately priced,
| and a definite A+ on food. Mexican and Middle Eastern food.
| Apple Blossom Cafe (ABC Cafe), 308 Stewart Avenue, (607) 277-4770
- Different ethnic/theme dinner specials every night.
| Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:
Aladdins Natural Eatery, 100 Dryden Road (607) 273-5000
- Middle eastern food.
| Collegetown Bagels, 413 College Avenue, (607) 273-9655
- Has a good salad bar, usually at least one vegetarian hot entree.
Another location at 203 N Aurora only has bagels and bagel
sandwiches.
| The Chariot, 420 Eddy Street, (607) 273-0081
| The Nines, 311 College Avenue, (607) 272-1888
- Pizza etc. Chariot is very flexible about their menu -- if they can
put it together in the kitchen, they'll serve it. The Nines is run
by the same people but I have less personal experience with it.
Joe's Restaurant, 602 W Buffalo, (607) 273-2693
Little Joe's, 410 Eddy, (607) 273-2771
- Italian. Several choices of vegetarian sauces for pasta, including a
very nice pesto. LOTS of food. Moderately priced. Packed on
weekends.
Just a Taste, 116 N Aurora, (607) 277-9463
- Wine and tapas bar. Many options for tapas (appetizer sized dishes
-- make a meal from two or three), fewer for entrees. Good spinach
salad.
Moosewood, Dewitt Mall, (607) 273-9610
- Of the Moosewood cookbooks fame. Not in the vegetarian restaurant
| category because they serve fish and occasionally chicken. Vastly
| overrated -- Cabbagetown is much better and cheaper. Service is
| very poor and very slow. The prices have skyrocketed since they
| remodeled, and the food is fairly fatty (massive amounts of cheese
| used). They often mix orders up, and they don't know what's in the
| food.
| - Eating at Moosewood as a vegan is also a nightmare (assured that the
| soup had no dairy in it, imagine my suprise to find a dollop of sour
| cream floating in it and butter in the stock).
| - Last time I went to Moosewood, the predicted wait for a table was
| 2.5 hours.
Sangam, 424 Eddy, (607) 273-1006
- Northern Indian. Lunch buffet with at least two vegetarian main
dishes.
Thai Cuisine, 501 S Meadow St, (607) 273-2031
- Good selection of vegetarian dishes (several pages on menu),
moderately formal, extremely tasty food. Hot dishes can be made with
varying degrees of hotness; the "medium" level is about the hottest
food I can stand.
- 'Vegetarian' in Thai means 'substitute tofu for flesh'. Be sure to
insist on no fish sauce or other animal products.
| Natural Food Stores:
Greenstar Co-op, 701 W Buffalo, (607) 273-9392
- Non-members can shop but pay extra.
Oasis Natural Grocery, Dewitt Mall, (607) 273-8213
| - Grocery, bakery, deli, organic vegetables. Book section.

One in Chinatown (VP)
- Chinese vegan. Highly recommended. Everything is excellent.
| Vege Vege, on the corner of 35th and 3rd Streets (I think)

- Thai with a wide assortment of vegetarian dishes.

insist on no fish sauce or other animal products.
| Yaffa Cafe, on St. Marks (between Avenues A & B)
| - Good selection of dinner salads and pastas.
Au Bon Pain
- Somewhat upscale and urbane fast food chain. An ingredients list and
a nutritional analysis of all of its products is available. Have
vegetarian chili. The Garden Vegetable, Cream of Broccoli, and
Tomato Florentine soups are vegetarian, all the others, including
Split Pea and Minestrone, are not.
| There are several inexpensive Indian restaurants on Lexington Avenue
| and about 29th Street which have quite a few vegan/vegetarian dishes.
| Often $5 includes fresh baked bread, salad bar, and a huge plate of
| rice, beans and vegetables. Delicious, a real treat.

Oneonta
-------
In the "small" town of Oneonta there are about 20 pizza joints where
you have no problem ordering pizza sans cheese.
They have one restaurant that (used to be exclusively) serves
vegetarian and vegan meals (I had scrambled tofu w/whole wheat toast
and home fries for breakfast the other day). This place is ALWAYS
packed.
There are restaurants that cater to a vegetarian clientelle, and
rarely look askance when you ask for something sans meat or query them
about the soup stock, etc. I was at one place a few weeks ago and
happen to be an acquaintance of the manager. I told him that the
dinner menu needed more vegetarian, low-fat (not cheese laden) meals.
The salad bar is excellent there, so at least that's something. He
said they tried a veggie burger at lunch, and it was wildly
successful, so they are going to add things to their dinner menu as
well.
Plattsburgh
-----------
| Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:
|
| D&H, 125 Bridge Street (near the Amtrak station), 562-9427

Syracuse
--------
It has been extremely frustrating trying to eat vegetarian in
Syracuse. Eating out is a real problem. I am not all that crazy about
salad and I have been actually lectured by people when I ask for
things that are not specifically on the menu. The two Mexican joints I
have tried both appear to put bacon in their beans. It is REALLY
difficult to find Italian foods here that are not laden with cheese
and/or meat.
However...
Vegetarian Restaurants:
Cafe Margeaux, 317 West Fayette Street, 472-5498
- Very good, if somewhat expensive. In yuppie area of downtown. Large
menu. Many vegan dishes. Good soup. Good stuffed squash. Mediocre
salad bar.
