My friend Niki was in town visiting me from Chicago this last week. We had lunch at "The Grey Dog", at the Chelsea location.
As a vegan I always get the questions about wether or not I can eat at certain places. I never make dining out an issue. I feel so awful when someone I am about to eat out with does, at every turn they are like "oh, you can't eat there". More often than not there is at least ONE thing on any menu I can enjoy. Actually, being a vegan has made eating out much easier than it used to be, now, at a non vegan establishment I am faced with usually only a few items to choose from, and I honestly love that.
While looking at the menu at "The Grey Dog" I was a little overwhelmed and concerned there actually wasn't anything on it besides the fresh fruit that I could enjoy! Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of choices with which I could make special request to make the item vegan but I felt the items on this menu were so specifically crafted, I hated to ask to have anything too specially made.
When my turn came to order I asked the friendly employee at the counter for Vegan advice. She suggested #10, The Hummus with Swiss, Avocado, Plum Tomato, Pepperoncini & Lettuce on Toast...hold the swiss. Heaven! I had overlooked it and was very pleased with the suggestion. Next she asked me what kind of bread I would like, this posed yet another dilemma...they had at least 8 breads to choose from! She was on it before I asked with recipe cards in hand finding out what breads they had without egg in the ingredients....Rye it was.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who just plane and simple loves food, vegan or not! This was the second time I visited and each experience was a wonderful one. Thank you to my friend Kelly for introducing me to it!
