Moosewood Restaurant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moosewood Restaurant is an alternative/vegetarian restaurant that was founded in 1973 by a group including Mollie Katzen in downtown Ithaca, New York, a university town in upstate New York which is the location of Cornell University and Ithaca College. It is located on the first floor of the Dewitt Mall building, which is a converted high school.
Moosewood Restaurant is known for its vegetarian cooking, and was named one of the thirteen most influential restaurants of the 20th Century by Bon Appetit magazine.[citation needed]
The restaurant is owned by a collective of people which operate the restaurant and write and publish cookbooks. Mollie Katzen's Moosewood Cookbook, a highly regarded vegetarian resource was produced not by the collective but rather by Katzen, one of the founders of the restaurant.
