Sophie's birthday · Sat Oct 3: Avant Garden — 8:00pm dining room. Michelin-cited, plush but zero tablecloths, East Village. Dirt Candy Tue Oct 6 8:00pm — BOOKED (Chef's Counter, 2 guests; call about bell peppers). Vegan status (menus read, Sep 16): 12 of 16 kitchens are 100% vegan — all Overthrow + City Roots venues. Dirt Candy is vegetarian, not vegan (current tasting: yogurt, smoked feta, ricotta salata, poached egg) — their FAQ: every dish can be made vegan, say so when booking. Superiority Burger: "proudly lacto-ovo vegetarian with a sizable amount of vegan options" (their words). Amor y Amargo: drinks-first, vegan bar snacks. abcV: plant-forward by Jean-Georges (the V) — vegan + GF options across the menu, site says "plant forward", not strict vegan. None are Indian; no tablecloths or dress codes anywhere.
