How funny, that's my FAVORITE restaurant. I live about a stone's throw from there! My bff and I go there all the time and we LOVE the soy cheese cake. Have you had it? It's amazing. I daydream about it. Maybe I'll go get a slice right now ...
I definitely don't know any places way the heck up where you are! But yeah, my general rule in NYC restaurants is seek and ye shall find. They are so used to obnoxious, pushy people here with weird diets, that if you just ask very sweetly to leave out the butter or whatever, I've really never encountered an attitude from people. They pretty much just respond to what you put out, you know?
The first six months in NYC can definitely be overwhelming. I've been here since August 2003, and I love it. It really feels like home and I can't stand the idea of not living here anymore. Everything you need is right here. And New Yorkers, in my experience, may be a little rushed and abrupt but are good hearted people. And I like people who tell it like it is!
I haven't had the low fat cookies you're talking about, but I love the vegan cookies from Whole Foods. They have some random Tahini cookies that everyone thinks are gross except for me. They are incredibly filling (sesame paste will do that) but they are super yummy and safe in moderation. But really, the Franchia cheesecake is where it's at. Have you had their iced tea "latte?" Scrumptious. Maybe we should do an NYC get together ...
