    remember that there are vegan selections). For the lacto-ovo crowd:
    TWO THUMBS UP to a dish they call Vegetarian Steak. It's a
    nut/grain/cheese thing shaped like a swiss stack and served with
    vegetable gravy, potatoes and veggies. It was to DIE for.

  ---------

  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.

  Dairy Queen
  - This Dairy Queen serves vegeburgers and veggie hotdogs.



  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, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - Has a variety of vegetarian entrees and sandwiches on the menu.
    Food is creative and tasty.

  Anita's Kitchen, 110 W. Maple Road, Troy, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - Probably the largest health food store in Metro Detroit, with a deli
    which I believe is entirely vegetarian, and a small cafe area.



  Lansing
  -------

|   2003 E. Michigan, [phone]
|   208 Mac Avenue, East Lansing, [phone]
  - Vegetarian restaurant. Good vegan variety. Salad bar.

  Reno
  ----

  The Blue Heron, 1091 S. Virginia Street, 786-4110

  Ithaca
  ------

  Thanks to Judith Underwood ([e-mail]) 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, [phone]
| - 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, [phone]
  - Different ethnic/theme dinner specials every night.


| Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants:

  Aladdins Natural Eatery, 100 Dryden Road [phone]
  - Middle eastern food.

| Collegetown Bagels, 413 College Avenue, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
| The Nines, 311 College Avenue, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  Little Joe's, 410 Eddy, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - Northern Indian. Lunch buffet with at least two vegetarian main
    dishes.

  Thai Cuisine, 501 S Meadow St, [phone]
  - 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, [phone]
  - Non-members can shop but pay extra.

  Oasis Natural Grocery, Dewitt Mall, [phone]
| - Grocery, bakery, deli, organic vegetables. Book section.

  - 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.

  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.
