A New Plant-Based Haven Opens Its Doors with Heart
Franklin Becker, renowned New York restaurateur, has opened the doors to his latest creation, The Little Beet. This bright and welcoming fast casual eatery, nestled in the busy Flatiron neighborhood, offers guests a completely plant-based menu bursting with flavorful and nourishing options.
But The Little Beet aims to provide more than just delicious vegan fare. “We wanted to create a space that feels good to be in, that nourishes the body and soul,” shares Becker. “From the cozy furniture to the uplifting menu quotes on the walls, we hope guests leave feeling just a little brighter.”
Wholesome Offerings from Morning to Night
The Little Beet’s diverse menu spans all-day breakfast, hearty sandwiches and grain bowls for lunch, and crave-worthy sweets. While diners won’t find any animal products, they will discover nutritious ingredients like whole grains, veggies, beans, nuts and seeds incorporated into each dish.
A few menu highlights include:
- The Sunny Start Breakfast Sandwich with tempeh bacon, eggless ‘eggs’ and dairy-free cheese on an English muffin
- The Good Burger featuring an Impossible patty, pickles, onions, lettuce and beet-cashew cheese sauce
- The Zen Bowl packed with quinoa, avocado, crunchy veggies and miso-glazed tofu.
And for those with a sweet tooth, choices like the chocolate-almond milkshake or peanut butter cookie dough bites provide the perfect plant-powered treat.
A Shared Passion for Compassion
Like Becker’s other popular restaurants, the heart behind The Little Beet goes beyond conscientious eats to embrace compassion as a core value. As a long-time supporter of animal welfare and sustainability—he has participated in awareness events for organizations like Mercy for Animals—Becker is thrilled to provide a space where New Yorkers can come enjoy community over ethical, plant-based cuisine.
“I’m so grateful to be creating restaurants where compassion is part of our daily conversation,” says Becker. “My hope is that guests feel that warmth when they walk through our doors.”
