Yes, Babycakes has vegan doughnuts now. But let me tell you, I have first hand experience with them. While they are good, they’re $3 for a doughnut about half the size of a normal doughnut. I don’t get it. I understand that Babycakes uses unrefined and organic ingredients but when you overprice things to that degree it just kind of makes you look lame. But the vegan restaurant I want to tell you about is called Peacefood Café. It’s at 460 Amsterdam Ave. on the Upper West Side. I discovered it while reading the Dining section of nytimes.com. They actually have good things to say about it which is surprising since anything with the word vegan in it is usually accompanied by the words hippy, weird, bland and granola. I’m looking forward to checking it out.

P.S. Look for my pictures of Lance on nytimes.com Friday night and in the newspaper on Saturday.
