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.
Borgo
Freemans
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.

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