 Without quoting the rather snotty remarks, I can second Zythos as a good veggie
 place - especially if they bring back their lunch special as the weather
 warms...  Last year, the deal was that you could pick 3 (or 4?) items from
 their vegetarian menu for 5 dollars.  And the better part was that "lunch" ran
 until 5 o'clock, so I actually stood a chance of making it there after work.
 (Yup, some of the freaks actually work for a living....)

 Actually...you may want to try the new 'Sip' in Shadyside (behind the building
 where Hey Betty is now)...they used to be a coffeehouse on Shady, but they moved
 to Spahr Street, and now they serve organic vegetarian fare...their hours are
 funky...but the food is definitely vegetarian...also...'Udipi' Indian food in
 Monroeville, near the Indian Temple along the parkway, is completely
 vegetarian...and the food is very good...authentic, as they cater to the temple
 crowd, and not the bland-palate Americans...

 For a restaurant with excellent vegetarian selections, try either the Spice
 Island Tea House or their sister restaurant 'Road To Karakesh', both in Oakland
 on Atwood Street. They are both very reasonable in price, delicious, charming,
 and the selections are unique and tasty!
