vegan substitute for Parmigiano? White miso?
So Parmigiano is full of salty, umami goodness, and why would we live without it? My poor, benighted vegan friend has chosen to do so. Has anyone ever tried using a small amount of white miso-- another umami bomb-- as a substitute for parmigiano, especially for the rind in soups, or in vegetable based-pasta sauces?

Dim Sum Birthday Brunch
May be too late but Cafe Evergreen on UES (1st at 69th, www.cafeevergreenat69.com) does high quality dim sum with Great service on weekends starting at 11.30AM. They can accommodate large parties-- they seem to have large parties all the time. Surroundings are definitely a little plusher than the usual C-town environment so it would be good for a festive occasion.
