"le pain quotidien (lpq) is a chain whose restaurants are always pleasant, relaxing and a series of healthy vegan options. this branch has an additional star in its assessment due to its location, as it is so close to the met museum. I have met here people for lunch or breakfast to numerous places, either before I go to the met, after the met, or even during a short break from the met, before returning to the museum. this is the best bet by far if you are looking for a waiter-served, sit-down, relaxed restaurant with decent vegan food in the immediate vicinity of the met. safe is beyond sushi on the third avenue and 81st much better. However, make sure that they do not overestimate their endurance: many people are mesmerized in the met, and so they do not move away from the works of art until they are starved and exhausted. As a result, even some additional ways of going could be a task in such a condition. from this reason this two g of lpq could be their best bet in such situations (although if this is packaged two g, they might have to try to move beyond sushi or to another not too far away twog of lpq). updated by previous review on 2021-07-10"
