BEST VEGETARIAN
Dirt Candy
430 E. 9th St.
Unlike some vegetarian standouts in this city (Blossom, Candle 79), Dirt Candy isn’t interested in the ersatz meat dish—nor are they particularly interested in health food. Instead, chef and owner Amanda Cohen focuses “on what you can eat, not what you can’t” and applies haute cusine inventiveness to just about every vegetable you can think of. And it is glorious.
Egads! The address of Calexico is incorrect – it’s 122 Union Street between Hicks and Columbia!
Of course the best wine bar is called Terroir…alas.
