Vegetarian Tasting Menu Suggestions?

[dranore]

It's my birthday tomorrow, can anyone recommend a good vegetarian tasting menu? I've done Blue Hill's a few times ( which is really fantastic ), and I've done the one at Hangawi as well ( also nice, different obviously ). I'd like to keep the price at >$150 if possible. Any suggestions will do. Thank you!

I second Kajitsu... $70 for the eight course menu is an incredible value.

Tabla and Daniel both have good vegetarian tasting menus. Tabla is probably the easier reservation, although I have gotten a (late) same day res. at Daniel via Open Table.

I'd recommend Kajitsu, which follows Buddhist culinary traditions (shōjin ryōri) and serves high end vegetarian kaiseki. It occupies a unique niche in NYC's dining scene. Here are links to their website as well as a recent review:

Gramercy Tavern would be on the short list, but it would be nearly impossible to get a reservation for tomorrow.

If you're willing to make the trip, Blue Hill at Stone Barns is even better than the NYC location. It's definitely worth visiting at least once if you like Dan Barber's food, even if it's not tomorrow.

Oh I had forgotten about Kajitsu... I think I read about it a while back. That sounds perfect. Thank. Feel free to make more suggestions, my fiance has her birthday in six days. hehe...
