Plant Based Chicken Panini

I used to frequent this spot when I was working in midtown and loved it. I was craving a pesto panini today, and in hindsight, I should have just gone to the grocery store and made one. UT47 is pretty out of the way for me now, but I went anyway. While the customer service and presentation are always exceptional, and the sandwich didn’t taste bad… it was missing a few things. There was no pesto and no avocado at all. Maybe 2 arugula leaves… There seemed to be extra soy curls and cheese to make up the difference. Thankfully it also comes with a side matcha sauce, otherwise it would have been very dry. I was disappointed because of the aforementioned pesto craving, but it wasn’t terrible and it left me with a full belly.

Another huge portion we had in this Korean-fusion vegan-friendly restaurant in New York City. The #soy bits were cooked in BBQ sauce, and they were balanced by the fresh #avocado , #arugula , and #sundriedtomatoes pesto. To make it tastier, it featured two different kinds of #vegancheese : provolone and cheddar. Recommended if you are really hungry 😅 We ended up regretting ordering two dishes, as one would have been enough for two people. #nyc #newyorkcity #vegantravel
