A Regional Guide to Healthy Restaurants in Central New York
The heart of New York state may be known for its craft breweries, but it also boasts a large selection of unique eateries. Beardslee Castle, located in Little Falls, offers a menu with several vegetarian and vegan options, which can be enjoyed within the walls of a 150-year-old Irish/American castle. In addition to earth-friendly products and foods available through its health store, the Green Earth Health Market in Oneonta serves up a café menu that caters to vegetarians, vegans, those with celiac disease, and raw foodists.
