Moosewood

Moosewood Restaurant is an Ithaca institution. Established in 1973, Moosewood became known for its plant-forward and farm-to-table fare. Thanks to a successful series of cookbooks, the Moosewood name spread throughout the country, contributing to the rise of vegetarianism in the 1970s and making homemade vegetarian cuisine more accessible. Since then, several of its cookbooks have won James Beard Awards, and the restaurant itself was named one of America's Classics.
