Moroccan Vegetarian/Vegan Dinner at Zerza in Essex Market

Not long ago I had the pleasure of a sightseeing and culinary adventure in Morocco's ancient and modern cities at the edge of the Sahara desert. I'd be delighted if you could join the NYC Vegetarian and Vegan group to enjoy the distinctly flavorful Moroccan food at Zerza restaurant.

This will also be a trip to explore the vegetarian & vegan options in the beautiful Essex Market building, such as Chomps-Élysées, Puebla, and Ni Japanese Deli. And also, the exquisite all-vegan Rebel Cheese (formerly Riverdel). Likely, I am thinking, most of us will order from Zerza. But please feel free to order from multiple vendors and whichever vendors you please.

Food: At Zerza, you can try their variety of starters, such as Zaalouk, Falafel Salad (order without feta cheese), Roasted Cauliflower, or indulge in a traditional entree such as Couscous and Falafel Sandwich. There are also vegan sides like Hummus and Spinach Dip (made without dairy) or create a Mezze Plate with several vegan items. PLEASE NOTE: Zerza is NOT all-vegetarian, so please confirm that your food matches your diet at the time of ordering.

Service: The staff are very accommodating to vegan/vegetarian dietary preferences. Food is served quickly.

Everyone pays for themselves; cash & major credit cards accepted.

FOR OUR NEW MEMBERS - We are an incredibly friendly, FUN, and welcoming group! Join us for a stellar evening of lively conversations and great food/drink with fellow vegetarians and vegans!

Train information:

• Take F M J Z train to the Delancey St.-Essex St. station. Essex Market is right on this corner, above the train.

WHERE TO MEET and WHERE TO EAT: After picking up our food, our group will be going upstairs to Essex Market's 2nd Floor, where there is a large seating area. We will meet as a group there, after individually picking up our food at Zerza and/or other food vendors.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday, March 6, upstairs at Essex Market's 2nd Floor seating area.
