Alana and I spent the last week in NYC. There is so much vegetarian food it's impossible to hit it all. Our favorites were Red Bamboo and Cafe Lan. Red Bamboo has all of your favorites in mock form: cajun shrimp. bbq ribs, roasted chicken, fish sticks, the list goes on and on. The shrimp tasted pretty damn close (well if you've been a vegetarian for 11 years at least) and my ribs were smoky and meaty, if not the "same" as a real rib. Cafe Lan is a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant whose owners are Buddhist. The food here was out of this world. Their BBQ Tempeh was crisp and tender, and the Papaya salad is out of this world - Not to mention the fact that entrees will only run you $8-$10, which isn't too shabby for New York.
We saw the Golden Compass as well. The story was engrossing and it was well made, but the editing and story flow were rushed and choppy. Alas I haven't read the book, and I'm afraid that will increase the disappointment level. All in all it was entertaining, and seeing a giant polar bear mosh some bad guys rates right up there with top bad ass film moments of the year.
