Pure Food And Wine

Elegant dining for raw food fans, this upscale restaurant offers seasonal dishes that never top 118 degrees – in an elegant, red and dark wood setting, complete with candles and an outdoor garden for those breezy New York City evenings. Favorites include the marinated shitake and avocado sushi roles (chopped jicima and pine nuts substitute for rice) and the zucchini and golden tomato lasagna with basil pistachio pesto (thinly sliced marinated zucchini substitutes for noodles). And the desserts… after the rhubarb wild strawberry crisp you’ll be swearing allegiance to the raw food movement in no time!
