Seven Reasons Is Going Strictly Vegan for a Month

Pop-ups

Chef Enrique Limardo is challenging himself to only cook vegan food for an entire month at his adventurous 14th Street restaurant Seven Reasons. The restaurant’s email blast announcement reads:

We are excited to announce that starting on April 20th and for one full month, Seven Reasons will turn into a fully Vegan restaurant. Yes, you are reading it correctly. We want you to forget all the good things you heard about us so far and come back to embark yourself in a completely different food experience.

From April 20 through May 17, expect to find riffs on rice with artichoke and mushrooms or butternut squash, basmati and golden raisins, shishito peppers and pecans and capers dressing, with desserts like pineapple strawberry gazpacho with cucumber celery sorbet. Reservations for Seven Reasons’ vegan month are available on Resy now.
