Purity versus Intent
Lots of (well-intentioned I’m sure) vegan and omnivore friends over the last month have sent me links to Quarrygirl’s investigative report on animal product ingredients in food purchased from self-declared vegan restaurants around LA (Operation Pancake). While I certainly share a desire to get what I order, and to have both menu descriptions and waitstaff…

More than Salad
A new entry in the “global vegan restaurant directory” category came to my attention late last week: More than Salad. While I appreciate the humor in the Terms of Service: I’m not sure I’d spend a ton of time entering reviews here over my favorite VegGuide, which clearly licenses its content for others to use…

Zurich – Pot au vert
Last night I had dinner at Pot au vert, a vegetarian restaurant near the main train station (hauptbanhoff) in Zurich. Although the “menu card” (linked to the image) online is only available in German, as in most Swiss restaurants English menus are available and the waitstaff speak many languages (German, English, and French most often).…

Vegan Open Source: VegGuide.org
I love this post from Dave Rolsky at Compassionate Action for Animals, in which he outlines the philosphy behind VegGuide.org and how it differs from competing national and local guides: The goal of the guide is provide a tool that helps makes it easier to live a more animal-friendly life. Specifically, we want to make…

Vegan New York – Candle Cafe, Gobo
So I’ve fallen way behind in writing up good vegan restaurants I run into on my travels. Luckily no ones had trouble finding good vegan grub in Manhattan in the last 20 years (if you ever do, just head over to SuperVegan or vegguide) but a few bright spots in my recent experience are Gobo…

Vegan London, continued – Blue Elephant
On our last night in London, we made our way over to Fulham for Blue Elephant Royal Thai Cuisine. It’s in a very unassuming part of Fulham, near the Fulham-Broadway tube station (map). It’s a dark, low building and you can’t really see any of the interior from outside. Inside, it’s a whole different world.…

Vegan Ireland, Part II – Kinsale (Thai Cottage)
After a few days in Kenmare, and having rounded the Berrea peninsula, we headed down to Kinsale. As you can see from the photos, Kinsale’s a harbor town, with a lively pub / restaurant scene. Like Bath, this was a place we could easily have stayed another day or two. (Maybe we should plan all…

Not all vegan (or even all vegetarian!) but with some veg-friendly options. I’ve been staying alot over the last month or so in the midtown-west / clinton / hell’s kitchen area – basically west of Penn Station / Times Square. 1. At 42nd Street and Ninth Avenue there is a Better Burger. They deliver ($10…

Vegan Austin
Had lots of good vegan food in Austin during SXSW. One good meal was the basil tofu from Mekong River on Sixth. I ended up eating there a couple of times – very convienent to the Austin Convention Center, the Austin Hilton, and 6th street in general. I had great meals at all these places:

Vegetarian Kosher Indian – Pongal
In Manhattan this week for a few meetings, I got a chance to try a new place. Pongal, at 110 Lexington Ave in midtown (map), is a vegetarian, kosher, Indian restaurant. (There are four or five kosher, vegetarian Indian restaurants in between 27th and 28th on Lexington). The menu‘s online – the Alu Gobi was…

Angelica Kitchen, New York, NY
So last week I was in Manhattan for the day, and convinced my non-vegan colleague Brian to lunch with me at Angelica Kitchen in the East Village (300 E. 12th Street) (Sorry for the glare in the photo – sunny day in NY even if quite cold).
