Vegan in Prospect Heights
What this foodstroll is
Our favorite Vegan food in Prospect Heights and things to do in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
Why this foodstroll works
It never occurred to us one could spend an entire afternoon eating vegan food in Prospect Heights. Perhaps NYC has become one big vegan playground and we just weren’t paying attention, or maybe the neighborhood is an anomaly. Either way, Vanderbilt Avenue between Atlantic and Grand Army Plaza has several excellent Vegan spots, in addition to all its shops, cafe’s, and bookstores. The section is closed to traffic on weekends, and you can chow down right there on the street. If you prefer, grab takeout and bring it to Prospect Park just a few blocks away, but don’t visit the neighborhood without strolling around the Prospect Heights Historic District, home to some of Brooklyn’s most architecturally beautiful blocks.
Strolling
Vanderbilt Ave in Prospect Heights is small, but Prospect Park is big, and if you want to extend your Foodstroll the surrounding area is loaded with attractions, like The Barclays Center, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Prospect Park Zoo.

Streetside parking is possible in Prospect Heights, especially the further you go from the park.
