Items marked vegan (v) or vegan option available (vo) appear on the Battery Park menu, but the kitchen states no separate vegan fryer is maintained. Shared fryers and prep areas create a real risk of cross-contact with animal products. The menu suggests telling your server about restrictions. This is a reliable menu but not safe for strict vegan requirements due to cross-contamination.
