More than kitsch for vegetarians out late at night

Yes, the decor is fabulous and over the top. The place is flat out adorable and fun. The outdoor cafe is great in the summertime, especially because the waitstaff actually knows you're alive back there! I have been going here since HS when I have a late night hankering for something that didn't have a mother, and their vegetarian options are always flavorful and tasty. The service is wonderful, and the desserts to die for. My fave place to escape the hustle and bustle of the thoroughly gentrified block outside and pretend that it's 10 years ago and the East Village exists as more than a hipster/tourist/NYU brat mecca.

Pros: Tasty, reasonably priced food, great service with a smile and some personality

Cons: not good for large groups, can be tough to accommodate seating
