Life

Frommer's Review

Located beside the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator in SoHo, Life is a godsend to travelers seeking vegetarian and vegan alternatives, with dishes made from natural and organic ingredients and utilizing fresh vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, soy products, legumes, and other healthy fare. For guests with dietary restrictions, it will also prepare dishes that are free of yeast, gluten, garlic, onion, or wheat. Occupying the second story above a health-foods store in a simple, down-to-earth venue, with rooftop dining available in the evening, it serves salads, samosas made with tofu and veggies, quiche, noodles, vegetable lasagna, and daily specials, along with juices, power and protein shakes, teas, and organic wine and beer. Fitting the restaurant's earth-friendly philosophy, it even uses biodegradable packaging and cleaning agents that don't harm either the environment or, well, life. Ten percent of its profits go to charities.
