Candle 79 is an elegant, organic, vegan escape in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

A gorgeous duplex space, beautifully presented, healthful and delicious seasonal cuisine and superb organic wines keeps Candle 79 at the forefront of a movement to bring the concept of local, seasonal, organic vegan cuisine into the culinary mainstream. Delightful dishes like “Live Coconut Pad Thai" and “Seitan Piccata,” and decadent desserts like “Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss” convince their guests that at Candle 79, dining with a conscience is truly a pleasure!

DB's Etiquette Recommendation: Dining out for a good cause with a date or your friends is both sophisticated and sexy. Dress to impress - if you are single, benefits are a perfect place to meet other people with similar values. Always remember to treat your servers with respect and tip generously if you are treated well. Don't talk about yourself the whole time and avoid getting into heated debates (save those for after dinner, especially if there are many people present). You're all there for a good reason, so chill out and enjoy.
