1. Superiority Burger

    Vegetarian

    A vintage diner wedged into the East Village serves vegetarian cooking that doesn't apologize for what it isn't. Brooks Headley's menu—quinoa-and-chickpea burgers, beans with escarole and provolone—prizes bold seasoning and textural contrast over imitation, while desserts drawn from his pastry training elevate the experience beyond counter food.
