Marty’s V burger
A small and welcoming burger place on the East Side awaits you: Marty’s V burger serves one of the best vegan burgers in the city, and let’s not forget about the cheesy fries. Perfect for a quick lunch that you can enjoy right outside Marty’s on the table he provides, or great to take away and enjoy in Madison Square Park.

In New York for the weekend and don’t know where to go next?
If you’re hungry for something specific but aren’t sure where to get it, go to abillion’s map and type in the dish you’re craving. You will get a list of restaurants serving that dish, and the reviews will surely help you decide where to go.
It’s hard to be stingy when it comes to vegan food. You want others to enjoy that amazing dish you had, and we certainly were not disappointed by any of our choices. We too left a review on abillion ranking the dishes we ordered. For every review, we posted we were awarded $1 to donate to the charity of our choice, among a list of 50 different non-profits. Who knew eating and reviewing could be so rewarding?
