108 Millennium VEGAN Admittedly, Millennium is not for ev eryone. Some vegetarian eateries are so good even the most avowed carnivores will find something to love. One such place is Greens peru coca tea in the Marina (p. 133). But Millennium is not just v egetarian. It s vegan, meaning you won t find any animal products on the premises. Without eggs or dairy, concocting a meal meat-eaters can sink their teeth into becomes mor e challenging. But I list this place pr ecisely because so many y oung adults ar e opting out on meat these days, and at least here teens won t be groaning at the menu and then ordering peru coca tea little more than plain lettuce leav es. They can choose instead fr om various meatless concoctions that are rich in flavors and protein. One note of advice: Stick to dishes that don t try to mimic ones traditionally made with animal products. If you find exotically-spiced dishes on the seasonally changing menu, such as the Indian-influenced griddle cakes, you won t be disappointed. But dishes like the warm spinach salad with tofu tempura left me wishing for real goat cheese, and the black bean torte could be so much tastier with actual sour cr eam. O ne plus is that the r estaurant can accommodate any food av ersion or allergy. Call ahead and let them kno w your kid is allergic to so y, wheat, or nuts, and they ll happily put something together.
