Once you know how a reviewer views thinks relative to your own perspective, their reviews become much more relevant to you. I read some critics even though I never agree with them, but because I know how they think and what they like there reviews are much more useful. "Oh, they didn't like it. Perfect! I will like this one."
I guess you're only going for pure vegan/vegetarian places? Because these days, pretty much all restaurants do at least some vegetarian food. Vegan is harder of course.
Vegan drinking holes would be nice too :) http://www.veggiewines.co.uk/popularbeers.htm
