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…

Can’t Get This Out Of My Brain
Can’t stop singing this song. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not, sometimes I do wish the chocolate rain was not crashing through my veins. “Wish real hard it goes away somehow . . . “

MyThai Vegetarian Café and Bubble Tea Bistro
Formerly Buddha’s Delight Too, My Thai Café and Bubble Tea Bistro is an all vegetarian restaurant in Broookline, on Harvard Street, outside Coolidge Corner (toward Brighton). (404 Harvard St., Brookline MA) I had dinner there last week as part of a Boston Vegetarian Society / Boston Vegan Meetup meeting.Since Raven introduced me to Bubble Tea…

Elvis Perkins, Dr. Dog, and Edward Hopper
Updated: See photos at Flickr. Way too hot. Dr. Dog brought out the indie kids dancing in the front row, and the mix seemed off – vocals too low, all a bit muddy. But maybe I’m just being cranky because it was too damn hot. Apparently the lead singer’s quit smoking, which made his performance…

Pre-order / Sponsor Mieka Pauley’s new album
Go to ElijahDropYourGun for your chance to preorder / sponsor Mieka Pauley’s new album. I first heard Mieka Pauley at a concern on Halloween eve (10/30) 2004 – a campfire festival concert which also featured Antje Duvekot, Dan Blakeslee, Tiger Saw and others – all playing to a small but attentive crowd at the Masonic…

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…

Sebadoh at the Paradise
Bradley’s Almanac has Sebadoh Live at the Paradise: Overall, great set, nice and long, and not super-tight… but if it was, it wouldn’t have been Sebadoh. Nice to see a few post-Eric songs make it into the setlist (just as Dino Jr. has been doing with a few after-Lou songs). Won’t surprise you to hear…

Aquarium Drunkard
Another fantastic mp3 blog and podcast which has have been lamely late in recommending (this post has sat in draft mode for over six months now) is Aquarium Drunkard. As the name suggests it is heavily influenced by “alt. country” artists, but with a pretty eclectic mix of classic and indie. The podcasts are sometimes…
