The actual establishment is a tiny sliver of a building, but the decor sweeps you right off the street. Warm-colored walls and seats, serene music, tapestries and candles create a relaxing environment. There are also a variety of post cards and flyers of hip bands and magazines so if you're somewhere between the hippie and hipster scenes, you'll find solace here.
Mama's Soy Meatball sub was delightful. The mock meatballs are just right, somewhat resembling meatballs but not too convincing. The sauce demonstrates a happy marriage been sweet and spicy and the cheese melted! A rare find for the Long Island vegan/vegetarian, but taken for granted by NYC types. Other heros include Hot Diggity Soy Dogs, on an organic sprouted wheat bun and an Organic Barbeque Seitan Sub with orange-molasses seitan, ginger BBQ sausce, onions and cheese, yummy!
Appetizers include a wide variety of Tapas, divided into two categories, protein rich and complex carbs. Protein rich options include Korean tofu cutlets, tofu sunflower pesto and roasted Indonesian tempeh, whereas the complex carb section offers sliced ginger soba noodles with a spicy peanut sauce and dijon marinated raw kale. Just describing the tapas section makes me hungry, and I just ate.
They have an excellent happy hour special where you may receive discounted vegan food with purchase of drinks. The drink menu is superb, entitled Powerations, Libations and Stimulations, offering frozen fruit smoothies, herbal sodas and drinks. Alcoholic drinks include beer, wine and delicious mixed drinks.
The dessert menu might as well just be renamed the anti-diet. It is good, great, superb and more irresistible than a threesome with Venus, Aphrodite and Adonis. The Velvet Triple Chocolate Brownies, jammie cookies, chocolate cake, sinner bar (coconut caramel dipped in chocolate), macaroons, and even muffins and scones are ridiculously good. The soy protein and/or tofu ingredients are totally undetectable and the desserts could easily deceive even the most obtuse palate of a TGIFridays-goer.
Sacred Chow is a great place for a good meal and quality conversation.

acred Chow offers not only a fabulous variety of vegan entrées, appetizers and desserts, but also vegan beer, wine and mixed drinks. It's all fresh, served with a smile, and, I imagine, prepared with love.
