Hi everyone! My parents are traveling to NYC from out of state and my boyfriend is meeting them for the first time. M I’m looking for restaurant recommendations - mostly in manhattan - with some decent vegetarian options (my parents are vegetarian) and not super loud music so that we can actually have a conversation with each other.
It would be lovely to have some options which don’t require me to jump through hoops to get a resy.
All recs appreciated :)
ABCv for the win
Even ABC kitchen would work
Hangawi is delicious, all vegetarian, and very quiet.
La Pecora Bianca should work.
Dirt Candy has excellent food and it’s a fun place to be. You should be able to get a reservation, but it’s not open on Sundays. Congrats and good luck.

If you/they like pasta, the newer Nona Dora location in tribeca. I would also consider Borgo and Hearth
Hearth, plenty of veg options, quiet tables and its a classic
Norma, Lola's, nudibranch.
there are vegan dim sum places in Manhattan china town.
Superiority burger is amazing, maybe avoid on a weekend night but otherwise not crazy loud
I love Loring Place which has a ton of veggie only options and a more quiet vibe. Their hummus and the seasonal veggie fries with the Parmesan aioli are the first things we order every time we come.
Borgo

But far from quiet. I don’t think I’d meet anyone’s parents here.
