Hi there! We are coming to the 'Big Apple' from England in December but my mother has a special diet, which includes, fish, lentils, brown rice, vegetables and fruit. Any ideas?

If you go to menupages.com it contains the menus and prices for literally hundrds of NYC restaurants. You can search by neighborhood or by cuisine.

There are tons of fish places - and if you mom can stick with fish and veggies she'll have a great choice (from Le Barnardin to the Oyster Bar at Grand Central - also a series of Dokcs) - but most of these places are moderate or above. Also, most places have at least one fish choice - and you can usually sub veggies for pasta or potato.

I know there are also lot of veggie places - but since that is not my thing I can;t advise.

Also, there are dozens and dozens of ethnic restaurants - many of them Chinese or Indian - where there are lots of veggie choices.

Zen Palate is a good place for you. I don't think they wil have fish but it is GOOD high fiber vegetarian. Several NYC locations. I am not a vegetarian and I love this place. www.zenpalate.com They have their menus online.

Most Chinese and Indian restaurants are fine for vegetarian meals or special diets.
I second Zen Palate as excellent regardless of your dietary needs.

Hi. I'm a vegetarian and yrs ago when visiting NY, I ate at Ratner's a famous kosher (dairy) restaurant. Meaning they serve no beef or chicken, but do fish and milk related meals. I had great lentil "chicken liver" there. It might be an option and it is certainly a fun place to eat.
