Mere vegetarians are such wussies! At Balasia, vegans run the show, and even  the carnivores among us are grateful.  Balasia is set in a fabulous Victorian mansion in nearby Emmaus, though the homemade dishes are even more beautiful—a kaleidoscope of fresh and artfully arranged vegetables. The vibe is earhty, with bamboo placemats and scented acors at every table. Your host is also the owner and cook, and she’ll happily recount her travles through India, studies of botany, and 11-year commitment to vegan foods. Her menu changes every day and the drink specials are all organic (including everything from red peach soda to Kombucha, a Himalayan tonic).  Make sure you try the Peanut Butter Bombe, so rich that you would never know it isn’t chocolate. Down with the lactose-industrial complex! (Open Tu-W 11a-4p; Th-F 11a-4p, 5p-11p, Sa 5p-11p.)
