Where meat-free has always been the default

New York's longest-standing meat-free cooking comes from communities for whom vegetarian is not a trend. Curry Hill, the few blocks of Lexington Avenue in the high 20s, has South Indian restaurants that have never served meat. Chinatown has Buddhist vegetarian kitchens doing mock duck and dim sum. Orthodox Jewish dietary law has produced kosher vegetarian restaurants, where the absence of meat simplifies the rules. Newer places are often fully vegan rather than vegetarian, so if you eat dairy or eggs, it is worth checking the menu. Places close and open often here, so look at a restaurant's own page before crossing town.
