Caravan of Dreams, now in its 33rd year of serving organic/vegan food in the East Village, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to ensure its survival.
Manager Abe Gross (below right with owner Angel Moreno) said the restaurant on Sixth Street "had a slow summer," and he was "hoping for a stronger September." They need the money for "sustainability."
Moreno, who started the restaurant in 1991, said, "When we want to serve others, it comes back to us. It's about being grateful. There is no place for complaining, bad emotions or energy. Just be grateful!"

Caravan of Dreams is at 405 E. Sixth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue.

Never want to see a locally owned business struggling. However, the only time I’ve entered the restaurant I was ignored by staff for about 15 minutes before I just left. I don’t match their typical clientele appearance-wise and can’t help but think I was ignored as a means of maintaining the homogeny I saw in their dining room.
Maybe they just had lax service. Maybe.
