If there's a Vegetarian Restaurant Week in your area, check to see if there's a black-owned spot participating and go and support them. Many of the black-owned restaurants have been around for 30+ years, even though some of us act like not eating meat is a relatively new concept to black people, if not 'something white people do'.
In Brooklyn, NY, there's Food 4 Thought Cafe and Bushbaby Coffee and Tea. Check the BKLYN Goes Veg! website for details.

In Brooklyn, there is also the raw vegan restaurant called Rawstar - http://www.rawstarcafe.com . It is in walking distance from the Brooklyn Museum. Features raw vegan fair with Trinidadian/other Caribbean influences.
In Harlem, there is the raw vegan soul food restaurant called Raw Soul. In walking distance from the 145th street A/C train stop. http://www.rawsoul.com/restaurant.htm
Hi
I am trying to locate a black Trinidadian chef (vegetarian) who used to live in NY by the name of D Samuels. When I met him in Germany (Bonn) he was travelling with Erykah Badu as her Chef - she was here doing a concert with Common some years ago. If anyone can help can you please email me at

Many Thanks
BKLYN Goes Veg! specifically aimed to promote the participating restaurants in BROOKLYN. Unfortunately, Rawstar did not participate.
Perhaps next year.
