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…

Too Chicken to Go Vegetarian? NY Times article on vegetarianism and climate change
Good article in today’s NY Times by Claudia Deutsch: “Trying to Connect the Dinner Plate to Climate Change” Includes very prominently one of PETA‘s new ads: The article talks about the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization report “stating that the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined” as…

Lunch at Veganopolis – Portland
Took the opportunity to flee the Oregon Convention Center at lunch today and head over to Veganopolis for lunch. Just a few short MAX stops from the convention center, and with a vegan lunch buffet.

Veggie Guide to Portland (Yahoo Pipe)
Next week I will be in Portland, OR for OSCON 2007. I know there’s a lot of great vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and stores there, but I don’t have a sense of where they are, and couldn’t find a good map-based guide. VegGuide.org makes a listing of restaurants and stores in the Portland area available…

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 London – Mildred’s in Soho
While in London (photos here) we had dinner at a local institution – Mildreds in Soho, a vegetarian restaurant for the last 17 years. We knew right away dinner was going to be great – the lines waiting for tables were flowing well out into the street.

Positively Vegetarian – DeMuths, in Bath
We spent a night in Bath, on our way to Bristol airport to fly over to Dublin. Bath’s a great town – we could have spent another couple of days there easily. We had dinner at Demuth’s Vegetarian Restaurant, whose owners . . . aim to make Demuths the best vegetarian restaurant in the south…

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…

Vegan Ireland Part I – Mulcahys, Prego, and Guiness
After a few days in the Cotswolds and one in Bath, we headed off to Ireland. Dublin (photos) was a whirlwind of pubs, tours, and general craziness – but not really with any particular set of good restaurants to recommend. We wandered around quite a ways and ended up generally settling for ethnic restaurants (Asian,…

Vegan Wasington DC
I was in DC the other day on business, and had an hour to grab lunch near the Georgetown area. I don’t really know Washington DC well, but fired up the web browser on my phone and found Veg DC – a great site with information on restaurants, grocery stores, and other organizations in the…

Vegan Cotswolds
My wife and I recently spend a week and a half in the UK and Ireland. This post is the first in a series about the vegan goodness we found on our trip – hope it helps other travellers. Our trip started essentially in the Cotswolds (photos here), a region west of London, more or…

Wagamama in Boston!
I guess I’m a bit behind in reporting this, since they opened back in April 2007, but Wagamama has a Boston location at Fanueil Hall! (There’s a map on their site, but basically they are at the east end of the main Quincy market building, where I believe a Rustic Kitchen used to be). This…

More food options in NY
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…

They eat what?
Excellent article from the Union of Concerned Scientists about factory farming, and what the industry calls CAFOs – confined animal feeding operations: “The Reality of Feed at Animal Factories” Specifically, they focus on what “food animals” are fed inside animal factories. If you are what you eat, I think the corollary should be that you…

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:
