Caravan Of Dreams • 1991

Angel Moreno brought Mediterranean soul to the East Village in 1991, creating what would become the neighborhood's longest-running organic vegan restaurant. Caravan of Dreams pairs kosher-certified plant-based plates—both raw and cooked—with live music and a spirited community feel that's endured for over three decades. The menu leans into hearty, medicinal eating: wholesome dishes free of processed ingredients, designed to nourish body and spirit in equal measure.
