Here's the deal. I used LOVE caravan. I have been in NYC, vegan, and going to Caravan for years. Caravan's menu is really simple. While other restaurants have moved forward with culinary innovations, Caravan is still serving beans and sprouts.
Pros: old school east village atmosphere, really good tempeh, ""big salads"", lots of options, relaxed vibe, chill space
Cons: completely uninvolved service, haven't updated the menu in ages, way, way, way too expensive for what you get.
