Aussie’s Otarian Reaches NYC

With Australian eatery Otarian putting the finishing touches on its new space, New York City can expect another vegetarian restaurant to join the city’s veg ranks next month. The restaurant, located at 154 Bleecker St. in Greenwich Village, just unveiled its storefront, which had been covered in “coming soon” advertisements since mid-November of last year. Otarian, a fast-casual vegetarian chain from Australia, emphasizes the “principles of vegetarianism and its benefits to human health, the well being of all living creatures, and the natural world.” While no official opening date has been set, final preparations are being made to ready the restaurant for the public.
