Yes, I'm still in mourning because the glorious little Asian Pub is shutting down soon. That place truly is my first
horcrux, but I did find a new place to insert a fragment of my soul.
Well, it's not quite the perfect substitute. No bargain booze. But it is another haven for hangover food and broke college students.
B & H Vegetarian Restaurant is easy to miss – it blends in with the little storefronts on Second Avenue. But once you step inside, you are immediately greeted with the scents of soups and 80 other kinds of goodness. It has the feel of a divey diner - cozy, cheap and oh-so-delicious.
Most plates are under 10 dollars and the cook will fill you up with heaps of food. The array of choices on the menu can be a little overwhelming at first. Salmon croquettes? Blintzes with a side of soup? The cheese pierogis are a must. The cheddar cheese and apples omelet is also a safe bet. But there are about nine different omelets to choose from, in addition to more than 10 overstuffed sandwiches and different specials each day.
Mike is the friendly cook who’s bustling around behind the counter – he’ll encourage you to keep on eating and feign heartbreak if you don’t finish what’s on your plate. So say hi when you’re sitting at the counter, but prepare to brush elbows with strangers left and right. And expect to be taunted by the strategically-placed carrot cake in front of you. Even when you’re full, you’ll still wonder what that tastes like.
Gluttony never looked so good.
