Grasshopper
Boston's vegetarians and vegans rejoice over the offerings at Grasshopper, a meat-free Asian restaurant proving that carnivores aren't the only ones with serious Chinese food cravings. Stir-fried greens and fried vegetarian spring rolls and dumplings are some of the stars of the menu, and there are flavorful tofu and seitan options as well, as counterintuitive as that may seem. Say goodbye to that lingering shame you usually feel after scarfing down heaps of Chinese takeout.
