Michelin-recommended plant-based dining room in the East Village for intimate private events and full buyouts
Description
Avant Garden is a Michelin-recommended, 100% plant-based restaurant on the second floor of 95 Avenue A in the East Village. Part of Ravi DeRossi's Overthrow Hospitality group, it's known for elevating vegan cuisine with seasonal, globally-inspired dishes paired with a curated selection of global natural wines and craft cocktails. The space leans romantic and farmhouse-chic: moody lighting, plush red velvet banquettes, candlelit tables, and rustic reclaimed wood accents. Music stays at an ambient level, which keeps the room conversation-friendly and well-suited to seated dinners rather than high-energy parties. For events, Avant Garden offers flexible options ranging from semi-private gatherings to full venue buyouts, with a dedicated team handling menu coordination. The setting works especially well for milestone birthdays, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, client dinners, and holiday parties where an intimate, food-forward atmosphere is the priority.
