Here are some new additions to VRG\u2019s guide (Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic many are doing take-out and\/or delivery now):<\/p>\n

Belse, 265 Bowery, New York, NY 10002<\/strong><\/p>\n

Belse\u2019s high-end, culture-agnostic approach leads to options ranging from the beet carpaccio with almond ricotta to a selection of pizzas and flatbreads including mushroom pesto to the Aubergine filet, an eggplant steak in a mushroom au jus. The brunch menu offers a mix of savory items as well as breakfast dishes such as banana pancakes or lemon poppy seed waffles with a maple rum syrup. In line with Belse\u2019s tagline (\u201cThe best vegan food tastes even better when you drink responsibly\u201d), the full-service bar and on-site brewery offer a range of beverages to pair with your meal. This includes the 4 signature wines from the Belse winery in Healdsburg, California, and the freshly made brews from the only 3-vessel German brewhouse in Manhattan. Brunch cocktails include the Upside-Down Cake made with vanilla vodka and lemon and pineapple juices and the Black & White Espresso Martini. If you are not already blown away by the thoughtfulness and creativity of Belse, consider this: the restaurant\u2019s logo (hands holding the earth wrapped in a lotus flower) was designed by Shepard Fairey, the street artist who created the \u201cHope\u201d portrait of Barack Obama.<\/p>\n
