Brooklyn Nibbles: Special Greenpoint Vegetarian Edition

We want to relate a single item today of interest to the North Brooklyn vegetarian set and to vegetarians passing through Greenpoint and to those with vegetarian friends whose preferences they would like to accommodate. A GL reader reports that "The William Taft opened on June 5th. The prices are pretty cheap ($4-$6 Sandwiches w/a side dish). Best of all, it's open 7 delivers until midnight everyday." This is the interestingly named William Taft Vegetarian Diner and Deli at 155 Calyer Street in Greenpoint. It bears the name of U.S. President William Taft, who was a patient at John Harvey Kellogg's Sanitarium in Battle Creek, where vegetarianism was the order of the day. We are certain a complete explanation of the naming choice is available at the new eatery.
