I love Spicy Moon and have been coming to their East Village location for years. Their Chelsea restaurant is wonderful, too. Bowery is the only one I avoid at all costs. Why? For reasons indecipherable to any reasonable person, the owners have decided that this should be a “clubstaurant”.Example? My experience there today, which was just mind-boggling. Let me paint the picture: it’s noon on a Sunday. The place is 70% empty. The few tables that are occupied are mostly families with young children. Yet the managers made the choice to play an obnoxious playlist of student club songs of the early 2000s. The kind that no actually good club would play: “My anaconda don’t”, “Turn down for what”, “sexyback”… I was hoping for a leisurely Sunday lunch, especially since they were advertising their Easter brunch menu, but instead I ate half of my kung pao in a hurry and left. The food is great but not worth the obnoxious atmosphere.

The food was pretty average for the expensive price, but was nice that it was all vegan. The atmosphere is what really sells the place, it feels like a great place to have a snack and drink with a friend.
