Seasoned Vegan will debut later this spring as a mostly take-out spot at 128 Second Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place, EVG contributor Steven reports.
Here's more about the business:
Seasoned Vegan is ... owned and operated by mother and son, Brenda and Aaron Beener. We pride ourselves on being loyal to our vegan/vegetarian customers by maintaining an organic, 100% vegan menu while creating meals that are delicious enough to satisfy the most skeptical omnivore.Our restaurant specializes in preparing a very unique type of cuisine: gourmet vegan soul food. We use the term "soul food" loosely because we are not referring exclusively to the typical cuisine of the Southern region of the United States.For us, soul food is any meal prepared by a chef who not only includes flavorful ingredients but also infuses tender love and care. With that as a founding theme, Seasoned Vegan gives typical Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern, Caribbean and American dishes a vegan, home-cooked, soulful twist.
You can find a menu here.
The previous tenant, Tony's Pizza, went dark in recent weeks after a June 2021 debut.

I wonder if the ending of Stomp affected Tonys pizza’s exit.
Fantastic news, Seasoned Vegan is one of my favorite restaurants, great addition to East Village/LES vegan scene
Sounds great, can't wait to try it.
Great news!!!!!
Best of luck to them! (Though, I still wish there were more good vegan options that weren't so focused on faking meat-based dishes...)
their landlord is Icon Realty, one of the worst slumlords in our hood. But I wish them the best of luck!
Super fantastic news to have them downtown!
Never understood the fake meat thing. Eat salads!
I live on the block, and, yes, the Stomp crowd was a very large part of the biz there.
Anon @ 7:46 am - I live on the block, and I'm pretty sure Tony's Pizza was severely affected by the closing of Stomp.
This is the same location where Stage Deli was, for decades. When Icon bought the building he wouldn’t renew their lease. Disgraceful. Stage was one of the last remaining Polish and Ukrainian restaurants left in our neighborhood.
I'm sorry Seasoned Vegan has to have Icon for a landlord, but it's amazing news that they're opening down here! I am over the moon about this, having just read it here now!
Seasoned Vegan will have continued success wherever they go. Welcome, welcome!
