One of my Earth Day invitations was to Rouge Tomate, a restaurant located in midtown Manhattan. Unfortunately, being stuck in St. Louis, I wasn't able to make it (hopefully I will get a chance the next time I visit my family). Rouge Tomate features delicious modern American cuisine that naturally marries thoughtful, well-executed dishes with authentic nutrition featuring seasonal and local ingredients.

A member of the Green Restaurant Association, Rouge Tomate reduces its carbon footprint by choosing ecological materials from recycled or recyclable elements, using Forest Stewardship Council certified wood for floor and furniture wherever possible, using energy-efficient equipment, giving preference to local and seasonable products, buying meats and poultry from farmers who feed animals with local plants, and selecting some wines by viticulturists who follow organic and biodynamic principles.
