Oscar's (on Monroe Ave. near Goodman)  Though the last time I recommended
                                       this place, they had a Hepatitis alert!!

Mario's (on East Ave. near Winton)     Italian.  Very good marinara.  Beware
                                       the specials; the waitrons don't always
                                       know when one contains meat :-b
 
Hong Kong (on Alexander St. between Park and East) Will make almost any dish
                                       vegetarian.  Moo Shu No-Pork is very
                                       good.  Chinese Vegetable with Garlic
                                       Sauce is my all time favorite :-9
 
Alexi's (on Monroe near Aladdin's)     Excellent Veg Pizza and Pasta. 
 
Alvin Ord's (on Monroe across from Aladdin's) Excellent Veg Sandwich, not much
                                       else the last time I was in there.
                                       Good
                                       for "fast" food.
					(TOFU BURGERS)
 
BTB (Blessed Thistle Bakery)           Evidently has a small cafe off the
                                       bakery that is pretty good.  I've not
                                       eaten there, but the bread is excellent!
 
Big Apple (Park Ave. btwn Culver & Berkley)  Some excellent veg dishes.
                                       Great atmosphere, a little expensive,
                                       but good for special occasions.
 					(Egg Plant dishes)
Raj Mahal (corner of Monroe and Alexander)  I like it better than India House,
                                       but I have an Indian friend who likes
                                       Maharani Palace (West Ridge Road near
                                       Dewey) best.



****  Many recommended Aladdin's, on Monroe.  They are supposed to serve Middle-Eastern food much of which is vegetarian (e.g.  falafel pitas) 
**** In Mt. Hope plaza, there's a little Thai place, called "Thai
Taste", which has _cheap_ food.  They'll do most of their dishes
vegetarian instead of with meat (at least for lunch).


**** vegetarian - Blessed Thistle Bakery  100 block of University Ave
*****   Wildseeds Bookstore and Cafe - not a huge selection but pretty good also on University Ave  700 block i believe
