Event Description

**Come any time between 6:00pm and 9:00pm, stay as long as you want, or leave when you need to. **

Souen Organic Macrobiotic Restaurant has been a New York institution since 1971. According to New York Magazine, " Japanese-based macrobiotic theory believes healthy, wholesome eating is therapeutic. Meat, dairy, and eggs, and even certain vegetables, are prohibited... all those dark green vegetables, soy, beans, grains... should leave you feeling fantastic." 

New York Magazine continues, "the Asian-influenced food at Souen stands on its own. A meaty seitan cutlet with a popped millet crust is crispy outside, chewy inside, and served with sweet, crimson beet sauce. Yuba, fine tofu-skin rolls, are marinated in a light tamari sauce and then steamed. Thick Jappa soup, one of the heartier variations of miso soup on the menu... he whole grains, beans, steamed greens, and hijiki in the Macrobiotic Life platter are plain on their own, but easily enlivened by sweet carrot ginger dressing."  

New York Magazine also writes, "he largely Birkenstock-clad crowd must feel comforted by the soft purple and yellow tone walls, the plants and humidity, and the simple wood tables."

My personal favorites are yuba rolls and the macro plate.

According to Time Out New York magazine, "ot strictly vegetarian or vegan, and definitely not raw, Souen offers natural, organic foods with no dairy, wheat, sugar, chemicals, preservatives or meat in a clean, bright and peaceful setting... he Asian-influenced menu is extensive... But don’t be distracted from the chalkboard specials."
