Shojin cuisine refers to a type of vegetarian cooking that originates in Zen Buddhism.
Even though it does not use meat or fish, shojin is regarded as the foundation of all Japanese cuisine, especially kaiseki, the Japanese version of haute cuisine. In its present form kaiseki is a multi-course meal in which fresh, seasonal ingredients are prepared in ways that enhance the flavor of each component, with the finished dishes beautifully arranged on plates. All of these characteristics come from shojin cuisine, which is still prepared in Buddhist temples throughout Japan.

The vegetarian (potatoes and chickpeas only) weighed in at a whopping 1 pound, 10 ounces; was 6 inches long, and cost $8. I'm not sure how one person could finish it. You can ask the roti maker for any amount of pepper sauce to be put inside, and I usually go for three plastic teaspoonfuls. 575 6th Ave, (212) 206-0170.

"When my vegetarian friends ask for dining advice I send them to American spots like Hearth, for hen of the woods mushrooms and gnocchi, or to to nouveau-Indian spots like Babu Ji for their bright yellow Punjabi curries. I send them to creative pizza spots like Roberta's and Pasquale Jones, to Semilla for vegetable-heavy tastings, to Del Posto for their vegan tasting menu. Some of the most celebrated vegetable dishes right now are served at "regular" restaurants: the grain bowls, the avocado toasts, the brown butter and squash carpaccios.
Superiority Burger made the veggie burger just as much an object of desire among the city's culinary cognoscenti as a trendy lamb burger. Now, the menus at Momofuku restaurants read "vegetarian options available on request."

famed Avenue B deli Sunny and Annie's - vegetarian sandwich - had not just pesto, grilled mozzarella, fresh goat cheese, spinach, seaweed, and avocado, but also ~three~ pieces of bread, making it the first non-meat double decker I've ever seen.
new fast-casual Asian restaurant @ 122 Ludlow Street Zing's Awesome Rice: menu will include six types of "seared rice," Yes, the fried rice is awesome, and it comes attractively plated with two domed scoops on either end of a long plate, with sriracha squirted in the middle in the shape of a heart or a leaf. But is it worth $11.99 to $13.99 for a modest serving, so that a full meal with app and beverage will run you $20 or $25? That's for you to decide. The rice is loaded with umami, has diced vegetables in it, and offers as a main ingredient a choice of tofu. For an extra dollar or two you can pick a more exotic form of rice, including a black rice with a particularly nutty flavor. Beverages run to beer and infused sake.
(5/16) Philadelphia-based chef Michael Solmonov and restaurateur Steve Cook officially kicked open the doors to the Chelsea Market outpost of their hit hummus restaurant, Dizengoff, this morning. A key member of the Dizengoff Philly team moved to New York for the opening of this new counter: executive chef Emily Seaman. Dizengoff will always serve fresh hummus, and pita baked in a taboon, but the toppings and combinations will change often. Solomonov tells Eater: "Emily really changes the menu all the time. She gets everything from the market, basically, and transforms it into Israeli-esque dishes." Solomonov notes that the avocado with peanut harissa on the opening menu is "not something that you'd ever find in Israel, but it really tastes fantastic." The hummus meals are $10 to $13, and the salatim are $3 each. for the moment, Dizengoff NYC is serving salads, hummus, pita, and drinks.
<<resp to above, a reviewer sez:>>I thought that the hummus at Dizengoff was excellent - probably the best in Manhattan along with Baraca on 38th Street, and amongst the best in the entire City in league with places like Olympic Pita and Mabat in Brooklyn, or Grill Point in Queens. (they don't have falafel for some reason)

The brunch menu at chef Eduard Frauneder's new Greenwich Village Austrian restaurant has a vegetarian breakfast sandwich with cauliflower, egg, Tumbleweed cheese, and onions on a roll.

2. Tex-Mex Slice at The Pizza * Uber-cheesy, with a slightly thicker than usual crust dotted with serious jalapenos and black-olive slices, and irrationally finished with squiggle of honey, the Tex-Mex slice verges on wonderful. But they should hand out wet-naps due to stickiness. $3.50
3. Key Lime Tart at Georgia & Aliou's * Topped with a fresh raspberry and a few slivers of lemon zest, the yellow pastry looks like a beach scene if you squint your eyes. It's every bit as tart and rich as you hoped, made for nibbling rather than biting. $5.50
5. Smoked Egg Salad Sandwich at Ellary's Greens * Vegetarians take note: The smoked egg salad sandwich at Ellary's Greens delivers much the same barbecue power as a slice of smoked brisket, with chopped kale adding to the textural terrain. $8
6. Avellino Focaccia Sandwich at Casa Toscana * The house-baked focaccia (sometimes known as pizza bianca) is thin and slightly crisp, and on it is piled mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil, making for a simple and delicious sandwich, the way they do it in Italy. $9

Agern

Salvation Burger - rustic joint in the Pod 51 hotel
Chefs across New York are fostering a vegetarian burger renaissance, and the version April Bloomfield serves at Salvation Burger, her newest restaurant, ranks near the top of the citywide hierarchy. Her kitchen mashes together golden beets, carrots, carrot juice, French lentils, mushrooms, sticky rice, and sweet potato vermicelli. This is all laced with enough warming garam masala to power a geothermal turbine, grilled over wood, and then anointed with cooling yogurt, shredded lettuce, and sweet tomato confit.<<writer goes on to pan this place bigtime, also v. exp (~30 burger) Desi spots:

Vegetarian Ham Banh Mi * Vietnamese baguette sandwiches present such a chorus of powerful flavors (pickled veggies, cilantro, jalapenos, doctored mayo) that it's hard to imagine that lack of real meat would make much of a difference. But there's something wonderful about the fake ham used in this banh mi * greasy, salty, and gelatinous that actually boosts the flavor of this excellent sandwich.
