Their culinary heritage is rooted in New York Jewish cooking and off-the-grid vegetarian cuisine and their food pays homage to these cultural traditions. There is a hot bar plus sandwiches made to order. The quiches and scones are my favorite. Popular lunch or quick dinner spot for local vegetarians and vegans.
