[View this email in a browser]( From our Sponsor [DISCOVER OUR GUIDE TO DELICIOUS MANHATTAN DISHES]( Comfort food feels like a warm hug for the soul on chilly, dark days. But it’s not necessarily the butter, meat, and dairy that make these meals so cozy. Vegan versions of the classics, like mac ’n’ cheese and crispy chicken, capture the nostalgia-inducing magic of their conventional counterparts without all the heaviness. Talk about a win-win. You don’t have to brave the cold to satisfy your cravings for decadence, though. Gothamist and Grubhub have teamed up to highlight five of the best plant-based comfort foods in Manhattan you can get delivered to your door—no hat and gloves required. Try [Belse]( on Bowery-- developed by team behind Los Angeles vegan hot spot Little Pine, Belse is a relative newcomer to the Manhattan dining scene, but it’s already leaving diners impressed with its menu of deeply satisfying plant-based comfort food. Vegan or not, you’ll love the lasagna. [Blossom on Columbus]( has been a vegan mainstay in Manhattan for more than 15 years—and it’s easy to see why when you try the Southern seitan sandwich from its Upper West Side restaurant. The delicate crunch of the spiced seitan, the earthy sweetness of the caramelized onions, the freshness of the avocado and romaine, and the airiness of the focaccia combine to make a supremely scrumptious sandwich. You won’t regret it. No matter what style of comfort food you prefer, you can probably find it at [Red Bamboo](. This Greenwich Village restaurant has somehow found a way to veganize beloved dishes from around the world, from crab rangoon and jerk-spiced seitan to fake steak with buttered fingerling potatoes. But fair warning: You might work up a hearty appetite just scrolling through Red Bamboo’s extensive menu on Grubhub. Plus, the Grubhub Guarantee offers peace of mind that you’ll get your food delivered on time and at the lowest price. Kick off the holiday season on a somewhat healthy note with these drool-worthy comfort foods.
