Vegetables (a.k.a. dirt candy) are the stars of this menu, and as freaky as it may sound, one of the best dishes is (drumroll): tiramisu with eggplant.
The menu changes monthly to use in-season produce; hope that Kajitsu keeps the Lotus Roots and Golden Beets on the menu from January 2013!
On the pricier end of market restaurants, but this is NYC. Cough up the dough for the Semolina Gnocchi or the Charred Eggplant. It’s worth it.
Wait...the pastry chef put straight-up vegetables in a dessert!? But the Sticky Toffee Cake with Sweet Parsnips is sophisticated and delicious.
The menu changes daily, but if by chance you spot the parsnips, cut and cooked to look and taste like risotto…well…get them while you can.
Really hungry? Or maybe just really hungover? Get the Sabich: a pita overflowing with fried eggplant, hard-boiled egg, salad and hummus.
