I'd like to go somewhere where I can avoid the meats, dairy, and grease. I've heard good things about souen - assuming they are still there. Is there anything else out there? Thanks!

But the food doesn't need to be raw - just macrobiotic - kelps, seeweeds, hijiki, seitan... Mon May 21 13:59:27 -0700 2007 2589247 53427 kayonyc 1 2589378 I stand by Angelica Kitchen for macrobiotic. Or Organic Grill. You can totally eat macrobiotic at Spring Street Natural, and whoever you're with can find non-macro stuff too.

Their food is quite delicious! Mon May 21 15:17:25 -0700 2007 2588757 54254 kobetobiko 1 2589846 Thanks fo your suggestions!

I think Ozu (Japanese) is pretty solid. There's also Manna, which I haven't tried. It seems to do brisk business, though.

Brown rice sushi is great, as is the cornbread. (As you can tell from my recs, menu is a true range!) Tue May 22 19:29:47 -0700 2007 2591888 20491 emileat 3 3818896 Completely agree with the Souen recommendation.
