Plant-based guide to Bushwick
The best travel experiences start with this question: “what will I eat?” As a plant-based food connoisseur I do my research. Brooklyn neighborhoods vary in cuisine but one thing they have in common is A LOT of veg friendly restaurants. Below are my favorite Bushwick eateries.
Sweet sipping Sol Sips is the little takeout spot you didn’t realize we needed. Stop in for a fresh pressed juice, a savory vegan sandwich or the daily special. It’s all good.
Entirely underrated but always delightful, Momo Sushi Shack is a plant-based sushi lover’s dream date spot. Options, they’ve got plenty. Pro tip: head in for a lunch special to get more bang for your buck. Try the inari, have a beer, get wild.
I have a deep sentimental attachment to El Kucho. This homestyle Mexican/Tex-mex eatery makes bomb veg-friendly options and strong margaritas. The friendly staff is also an added plus.
Offering a range of vegetarian alternatives, Millie’s Cuban Cafe is a neighborhood gift that keeps on giving. From impossible picadillo bowls and avocado tostadas to almond cortados, you will not be disappointed by a visit here.
For all of the dirty bar food babies out there, Syndicated is your go-to spot for all greasy classics from crispy cauliflower wings to impossible burgers. Pro tip: plan ahead. This bar meets movie theater hybrid publishes the film screening calendar on the first (ish) of each month. Lock your tickets in! You’re welcome.
Finally, Bunna Cafe is at the top of the must-eat list for Bushwick. Brunch or dinner date, the Ethiopian restaurant serves up an entirely vegan menu. Pro tip: order the feast for two with Shai Correnti’s to drink.
