Veggie Castle is closing

Veggie Castle—the vegetarian joint on Church housed in a former White Castle building—is closing. According to the New York Press article, the restaurant's 10-year lease is up and renewing isn't an option. The landlord plans to demo the building and develop a new commercial space there.

The place had a great reputation; New York magazine called it one of the five best vegetarian restaurants in Brooklyn. Still, this flexitarian won't be shedding any tears. I ate at Veggie Castle three times and, while the food was indeed very tasty, it certainly wasn't worth the explosive diarrhea I suffered after two of those three meals. (For what it's worth, Charles, normally the gassy one, shared two of those meals and had no problem...)

If Veggie Castle never made you violently ill and you need your jerk tofu fix, you can still go to their other location in South Richmond Hill.

I didn't get there much, but I thought it was great. About your "problem"....are you sure you're not allergic to something they put in their food? Perhaps the form of soy they use or one of their herbs doesn't sit right with you.
