Pizzeria Ludica
While in Vancouver BC recently for a conference I got to jonesing for good vegan pizza. Not the “hold the cheese” super plain variety you get at the average pizzeria who doesn’t know what they are doing, but a truly well made pizza with Daiya or the like. Luckily, I found Pizzeria Ludica. As the…

Vegan à Genève
I was in Geneva recently on business, and was happy to find Qibi, whose menu has a number of vegan options all clearly marked. I haven’t always found Geneva the most vegan-friendly so it was great to find another option. They also had a great little patio for outside seating, at the “rive gauche” location,…

Millenium Reopens in Oakland
I’m exited to report that the notice of Millenium’s closing earlier this year turns out to have been, as Mark Twain might say, greatly exaggerated. Millenium has now re-opened, at a location in Rockridge, North Oakland. Can’t wait to visit next time I’m in the bay area.

Mellow Mushroom
(via Mercy for Animals) When traveling and looking for healthy tasty vegan food, I often look for pizza joints with vegan options. One of the best – often in places where otherwise I’m not having great luck with vegan options – is the Mellow Mushroom chain. I’ve had great vegan eats in Atlanta, Louisville Kentucky,…

Terri NYC
One of my favorite places to pick up vegan takeout in New York City is Terri. They’ve had a location for some time on 23rd street near 6th avenue (60 West 23rd Street, New York NY) and now they have on in the Financial District (100 Maiden Lane, New York NY). The storefront on 23rd…

Vegan Phoenix
A couple of weeks back I was in Phoenix (well, Tempe really) for Pressnomics. Thought I’d share a few vegan spots in the area worth checking out. Green New American Vegetarian Green (@greendamon) has two locations – one in Tempe (2240 N. Scottsdale Rd #8, Tempe, AZ 85281) and one in Phoenix (2022 N 7th…

Sad days. Just got an email from the Millennium Restaurant mailing list, which reads in part: After more than 20 years in business, and with the end of our lease, we will serve our last meal as Millennium at 580 Geary St on April 30, 2015. We are so grateful to our co-workers, family, farmers…

New Music – Homeless by Quietly Concerned
Via Rathole Radio Episode 103 and Jamendo I was delighted to find this new EP, Homeless, by South African musician (and vegan) who records as Quietly Concerned. He reminds me a bit of José González (in a good way). His own artist statement says it better than I could: Quietly Concerned is a solo folk…

Veggie Galaxy – Vegetarian Diner and Vegan Bakery
This weekend during PodCamp Boston I took a trip down the red line to Central square and checked out Veggie Galaxy, the new Vegetarian Diner and Vegan Bakery from the folks who run Veggie Planet. The place looks fantastic – hip, modern but retro, clean, and inviting: I love seeing vegan restaurants get the ambiance…

Veganism and Attention Science: Seeing the Gorilla
Cathy N. Davidson’s new book, Now You See it: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform thw Way We Live, Work, and Learn (see my review on Open Parenthesis), takes one of its core inspirations from an experiment by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris, which you may have seen.
