Quantum Leap

Quantum Leap was one of the greatest TV shows of all time (which is why I've posted the very cool opening credits here). It's also the name of a vegetarian restaurant in Greenwich Village.

I don't usually patronize such joints (I'm a veteran carnivore) but I went a couple of weeks ago and, I must say, thought the food was great. Quantum Leap's menu is mostly macrobiotic but they also vegan options. You can get a wide variety of veggie burgers, sandwiches, and wraps plus they have healthy breakfast foods. I had a really good burrito with some kind of yam-like chips and the others had the aforementioned veggie burgers. They don't serve sodas or any of those unhealthy drinks, so plan to wash down your meal with a lemonade, fruit juice or some kind of natural tea.

Quantum Leap is located at 226 Thompson street, just of Washington Square. It's a small place but has a very friendly atmosphere, usually described by people as "chill." Best of all, the prices are modest and it's not too hard to get a table.

For a good, reasonably priced, not too crowded restaurant in NYC, Quantum Leap is a real find.
