a poem about new york city’s organic vegan restaurants
By Zachary German.




jubb’s longevity

i went there five or six times
i like the ‘irish carob cream’
i like the ‘pesto pizza’
i got the ‘aged mozzarella pizza’ one time
i did not like it as much as i liked the ‘pesto pizza’
i like the ‘aged mozzarella pizza’
i think the ‘burger deluxe’ costs more than it should
i think their prices aren’t consistent sometimes
i like the ‘burger deluxe’
i am annoyed by the staff sometimes
last time i went there the staff was fighting
my friend said ‘you should write a letter to david jubb’


counter

i like counter
i like the gin
i like the ‘marinated vegetable terrine’
i have been there three times



quintessencei

go there regularly
the ‘lunch combos’ are affordable
i only go for lunch
i went there for dinner two or three times two years ago
caravan of dreams
i only went there once
i went there with my mom



caravan of dreams
has mostly non-raw food
my mom and i both got raw things
my mom said she liked it
i liked it too
there were a lot of soy-based things on the menu



bonobo’s
si go to bonobo’s about as often as i go to quintessence
there isn’t wait-staff
you order what you want at the counter
the food is already made
you can ask for and recieve a ‘free sample’ of whatever you want
i usually get the ‘combo’
it is a good deal i think
it is one pound of any combination of the salads
i like the tomato basil soup
i don’t like the avocado cilantro soup
i got it one time and thought ‘i should have asked for a ‘free sample’ of this’
i ate it all anyway
now i’m okay
i like the nut pate
i like to get the nut pate with agave mustard
if bonobo’s had a water cooler and cups, and you could take a cup
fill it with water and drink it for free, i would like bonobo’s more



pure food and wine

i only went to pure food and wine once, and it was two years ago
at least i think it was pure food and wine
i think it must have been
i ate outside
i was with two other people
there was a spanish-speaking man who filled our glass with water
i always feel a certain way when someone fills my glass with water,
but i felt it more intensely that night, at pure food and wine
i remember thinking that the food was too expensive
pure food and wine has another part called pure juice and take-away
i have gone to pure juice and take-away three times
i have gotten the ice cream each of those times
one time i also got coconut water and lasagna

angelica kitchen


i have never eaten there
i mean we got that take-out one time
it doesn’t count
justin d. taylor like poured stuff on stuff he shouldn’t have poured it on
i did too but i don’t know
i was tired
