On Wed morning time nosotros followed the previously intercepted inwards Brooklyn) to Manhattan for breakfast. We had access to the entire vegan carte du jour - burgers as well as sandwiches stuffed with all agency of tofu, seitan, tempeh as well as veges, pastries, a twosome of raw dishes, pancakes as well as breakfast platters - as well as nosotros were both drawn to the breakfast burritos. My classic burrito (pictured pinnacle right) had a dense filling of refried beans, scrambled tofu, a piddling pico de gallo as well as roughly thick slices of avocado (US$9 AU$9.60). Michael's chipotle seitan burrito (pictured bottom left) was bigger as well as spicier, teaming its seitan with scrambled tofu, jalapenos, kale as well as chipotle mayonnaise (also US$9 AU$9.60). We ate them on the border of Central Park, licking our viscid fingers every bit nosotros forgot to pick out grip of napkins.
I spent the side past times side few hours at MOMA piece Michael watched the World Cup. I holler upwardly beingness deeply impressed when I visited virtually 10 years agone as well as it was freshly renovated. MOMA hosts a make of really famous works inwards its collection from artists similar Picasso, Matisse, Monet, Cezanne, Gaugain, Warhol as well as Rothko, as well as it's abode to Van Gogh's The Starry Night. This fourth dimension I didn't connect every bit enthusiastically with the works; they felt to a greater extent than similar a textbook tick-list as well as I caught myself wishing for roughly to a greater extent than culturally various voices alongside as well as then many manful someone European as well as American artists. (There was a dainty piddling Kahlo corner, at least.)
Our burritos fuelled us for many hours, all the agency dorsum through a mid-afternoon walk inwards Brooklyn. We were tracking the Dr-Cow Tree Nut Cheese shop, which Marieke had mentioned to us a calendar month or 2 earlier. Their small-scale cabinet contains a surprising diversity of raw vegan cheeses as well as a few hand-made sweetness treats, as well as they offered a few to sense of savour every bit nosotros made our selection.
Once dorsum at our apartment, nosotros dug into a triple-layered wedge of cashew-based saffron/reishi-hemp-sesame/pumpkin-shilajit cheese ( US$10 AU$10.60) as well as a circular of aged macadamia cheese. These were lovely, gentle savoury spreads - I was peculiarly taken past times the saffron layer of the wedge - but friends, they were zip similar dairy cheese. The raw cheesecake (US$5.45 AU$5.80) was much to a greater extent than convincing inwards its creaminess as well as its lemony tang.
Some fourth dimension afterward nosotros ventured out to dinner at Kajitsu, on our friend Jess H's recommendation. The spartan decor of this vegetarian Japanese eating theatre belies the depth of idea as well as craftsmanship inwards their cooking. They offering 3 ready carte du jour alternatives: the kaze (four courses, US$55 AU$58.20), the Hana (eight courses, US$95 AU$100.50) as well as the chef's omakase (an unspecified release of courses, US$195 AU$206.20) with optional sake pairings. We stuck with the iv course of written report kaze.
The June vegetable pallet opener was a colourful spread of fruits as well as vegetables, flowers as well as leaves inwards a lite vinegar jelly - piece I'm non unremarkably corking on savoury jellies, I constitute this one's texture pleasing. Michael ordered a side of fermented tofu (US$8 AU$8.50), which makes a hitting vegan alternative to blueish cheese. While its colouring textile is markedly different, this soy curd was dense, creamy as well as perfectly pungent.
Our minute course of written report was sure enough i of the best dishes of our trip. H5N1 written report inwards corn as well as mushrooms, they were crumbed into 2 kinds of croquet, sauteed as well as charred, served with a fried zucchini flower, fried noodle 'cornsilk', natto as well as nighttime chocolate, with a refreshing side of shaved pineapple. This may read similar a mess or a masterpiece as well as it was definitely the latter, a gorgeously presented mix of earthiness, lightness, sweetness as well as crispness.
This was followed past times a fried yuba parcel, fragile wheat gluten slices, eggplant as well as boundary onions inwards a clear broth - simpler but no less satisfying. The in conclusion dish ensured that no diner could exit the eating theatre hungry - a large bowl of lotus source rice porridge with crisp nori as well as a choice of pickles to elevator the flavour.
These Kajitsu dishes showed a combination of imagination as well as execution that nosotros hadn't quite experienced at Blossom or Dirt Candy - it's definitely our recommendation for a fancy-schmancy repast inwards NYC.
