Dirt Candy

Amanda Cohen opened Dirt Candy in 2008 and moved it to a larger room on Allen Street in 2015, and it remains the city's most playful argument for vegetables. A long counter faces the open kitchen, plant silhouettes run along the white brick, and there is a sequined sign worth a photo.

Dinner is a single seasonal tasting menu, vegetable-only, with a vegan version on request. Expect things like a tiny carrot pizza between courses, a mushroom croissant with mushroom cappuccino, or a potato sundae for dessert. The restaurant does not take tips and says so plainly.
