You can have a private party even if you don't take up the whole top floor--the restaurant will curtain off a space sized for your group.

From OpenTable:

Candle 79 combines delicious organic vegan cuisine with gracious, knowledgeable service in a gorgeous duplex space. Lovingly crafted food fresh "from local farm to table." Intimate organic wine and eco-liquor cocktail bar. Favorite of East Side regulars and celebrities like Paul McCartney, Woody Harrelson, and Alicia Silverstone. The only vegan restaurant ever reviewed by former New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni, who wrote "Candle 79 showed me the light!"

Brunch available Saturday and Sunday.
Take-out & catering available, no delivery.

In my opinion this is the best quality, most imaginative and beautifully presented vegetarian food to be found in NYC. The space is cozy and romantic downstairs and comfortable and laid back upstairs. Nice wine selection. Pricey but worth every cent.

Fancy schmacy vegan

Leave your hemp fanny pack at home, vegans, because this place is clas$y (intentional use of dollar sign). Delicious food, but stick with the cooked stuff since the raw plates are small and heavy on the sprouts and lettuce.

Best Brunch

My girlfriend, who is a vegetarian, turned me onto this place. For not being a vegetarian myself I really enjoy coming here for brunch. Their lentil cakes are awesome.
