Rockers Open NY Veg Spot

On Friday, Long Island Vegetarian Eatery opened its doors for business in the town of Seaford. The casual restaurant was founded by Eric Finneran and Salvatore Mignano, who were inspired to open a late night veg eatery after being frustrated by the void of options for cruelty-free dining after 10pm. LIVE, which will stay open until 3am Thursday through Sunday, features a completely vegetarian and mostly vegan menu that includes vegan jalapeño poppers, pulled-“pork” sliders, and deep-fried Oreos. Finneran, who also owns the music-space Cellar Door Studio, tells Long Island Report that the new eatery “cater[s] primarily to kids in rock bands or kids who like rock music.”
