Nu Age for the New Age

We like finding reasons to get out of the house on dreary Saturdays (it isn't like we are actually going to read our New Yorker subscription), so we decided to try out the relatively new restaurant the Nu Age Cafe over on Exposition and Enfield in the Tarrytown Center.

The menu is vegetarian and ranges from NuAge Club Sandwich to Cream Mushroom Linguine, but the bulk of the menu is definitely Asian inspired.

We sampled the Yam and Yucca Fries, served with a spicy dipping sauce, and followed them with the Soy Cashew Saute, all washed down with some black currant tea. The fries were good--if you go for yam fries, but we decided that we do not. Our nineteen month old eating companion also found the yam fries disagreeable. At least we can assume so as she spit them out onto the floor. Soy Cashew Saute, however, was light chewy soy goodness. We love fake meat. Can't get enough of it. It boggles our mind that more places don't offer fake meat. So now we have a place to go (other than the crowded Veggie Heaven) to experience a variety of fake meats to our heart's content. People, this is good news.
