Just in time for the holidays – I was very happy to see this in the Mercy For Animals e-newsletter: MFA’s “How Much Cruelty Can You Swallow?” Ad Campaign Hits Boston Millions of bus riders in Boston are getting a new outlook on dinner, thanks to the launch of over 600 pro-vegetarian MFA ads. The campaign, which features images of [...]
When it opened this summer, Vej Naturals quickly became one of the highest rated restaurants on the Boston Vegan Association database, getting an overall rating of 4.4 out of 5. (There are more photos in this review from Wicked Local Malden). Despite the glowing reviews, however, Jo and I haven’t been able to make it there yet. The location (across [...]
The Boston Vegan Association monthly meeting was this weekend at MyThai, in Brookline. Although I don’t get to as many of these meetings as I’d like (after commuting in to Boston all week the last thing I want to do most weekends is commute), I was happy to see lots of familiar faces and a significant number of new ones: [...]
This Saturday, Nov 1st, is World Vegan Day, and is also the annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival, at Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Boston (map). This year’s speakers include: Blogger and cookbook author Sarah Kramer talking about her new book Vegan a Go-Go, “a cookbook and advice book for veg travellers.” Danielle Nierenberg from the Worldwatch Institute on “Meat Production’s Impact on [...]
Earlier this week Jo and I went to one of the Harvest Vegan Dinners at UpStairs on the Square. They’ve been doing a four course, gourmet vegan tasting menu (with optional wine pairings) monthly. The next is scheduled for Tuesday, November 25th, and if you haven’t been you should absolutely check it out whether you’re vegan or just interested in [...]
I’ve spent a couple of weeks in London over the last month for work. It’s frankly a great city to be a vegan in, with lots of ethnic cuisine which is easily veganized (Thai, Indian, Ethiopian) as well as a number of health all-vegetarian or all-vegan spots. Perhaps the best central resource is the aptly-named Vegan London, which provides among [...]
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 under a permissive license as [...]
(via Maynard, the MARC mailing list, and originally the Jamaica Plain Gazzette) Steve Carian from T.J. Scallywaggle’s, one of (so far as I can tell) two all-vegan pizzarias in the US (the other is Pizza Pi in Seattle) is opening another place in JP, on the site of the former Felix Pizzaria. It will be called Felicia Scallywaggle’s: While Felicia [...]
Two recent finds online worth sharing. First, a video which came through the TED Talks video feed in Miro. It’s not actually from TED but from EG, which is a similar conference in Monterey focused on innovative ideas and wealthy audiences. It’s Mark Bittman, a food critic for the New York Times (and author of How to Cook Everything) talking [...]
While in Chicago for a conference, I had dinner at a new (to me) place in the North River neighborhood, not far from the Hilton Garden Inn: Karyn’s Cooked. It’s part of the broader Karyn’s set of restaurants, cafes, and spa, run by Karyn Calabrese. (Photo by PJ Chmiel, from his fantastic Vegan in Chicago site). I had the Seitan [...]
