Manhattan is a treasure chest of delicious food options for vegetarians

Thinking of New York, images like hot dogs and sky high pastrami sandwiches do tend to come to mind. But there is good news for vegetarians - New York is bursting with options for the creature-eating averse. Here are some ideas of where to find the best foods, with no face, that Manhattan has to offer!

Burrata - Bar Pitti, 268 6th Avenue, New York

In case you don't know, Burrata is a large ball of buffalo mozzarella, with a creamy center. Once you've had one, you won't forget the name

Sauteed Haloumi - Pylos, 128 E. 7th St, New York

Haloumi is a cypriot cheese you can cook without melting it - and provides probably one of the best salty, squeaky, gooey cheese experiences you'll ever have

Pumpkin Agnolotti - Locanda Verde, 379 Greenwich St, New York

With brown butter, sage and amaretti, this pasta dish can't be missed

Gnudi - Spotted PIg, 314 W. 11th St, New York

If ricotta and gnocchi had a baby, it would be Gnudi. These gooey balls are served with brown butter and sage

PIzza Bianca - Co., 230 9th Avenue, New York

With ricotta, olive oil and sea salt on Co.'s famous soft pizza base

Spaghetti Con Pomodoro - Lupa, 170 Thompson St, New York

It's simple but much loved - and at Mario Batali's restaurant, they know how to do it perfectly

Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Artisanal, 2 Park Avenue, New York

With 6 varieties to choose from, this temple of cheese knows how to make grilled cheese a delicacy

Fries - Pommes Frites, 123 2nd Avenue, New York

Cooked to perfection with a variety of sauces - great for a night time pit stop

Eggs Florentine - Balthazar, 80 Spring St, New York

Balthazar is known for its hollandaise, and these eggs florentine have the added bonus of artichokes

Artichoke Slice - Artichoke Basille, 328 E. 14th St, New York

Like spinach dip on crispy crust, but pizza

Grilled Corn - Cafe Habana, 17 Prince St, New York

Served Mexican style, with Chilli powder, lime and cheese

Any Cheese - Murray's Cheese Shop, 254 Bleecker St, New York

Described as New York's oldest and best cheese shop since 1940, there is no cheese they do not have - and let you try

Bagels - Murray's Bagels, multiple locations

Some people claim H & H is where it's at, bagel wise - but I think Murray's takes the prize. Try the seed filled health bagel

Guacamole - Dos Caminos, multiple locations

Dos Caminos' guacamole comes in a large mortar, and you can choose from mild, medium and spicy

Corn Souffle Cake - Itzocan Cafe, 438 E. 9th St, New York

As if this corn and mushroom souffle cake wasn't rich enough, it also comes with truffle oil

Cashew Nut Butter Sandwich - Bouchon Bakery, Time Warner Center, New York

This take on the PB & J comes with apricot jelly and is served on a brioche

Edamame Dumplings - Buddakan, 75 9th Avenue, New York

These creamy green gooey balls of edamame are Buddakan's most loved dish

Bread Basket - Commerce, 50 Commerce St, New York

Filled with so many freshly baked breads, including a yorkshire pudding, you won't need to order

Goat Cheese Tortelloni - Babbo, 110 Waverly Place, New York

These creamy parcels come with dried orange and wild fennel pollen

Pretzel Croissant - City Bakery, 3 W. 18th St, New York

All the best things about a pretzel and a croissant, married together into a salty savory twist
