  • 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…

  • Grand Central Vegan

    Grand Central Vegan

    In New York City this week for work, staying at the Roosevelt Hotel at 45th and Madison. Looking for some vegan grub without going too far, came across this recommendation (Two Boots) on supervegan. Got good pizza for lunch:

  • 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:

    I wonder how people who ate here the day before are feeling?

    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).

  • Stop Global Warming: Eat Vegetables

    I’m often asked whether I’m a vegetarian because of ethical concerns about the treatment of animals (i.e., that we kill them) or for health reasons (because, I suppose you could argue, the animals humans eat kill us). The easy answer is yes. And also for environmental reasons. That’s the one people don’t even think to…

  • Eating Vegan at the Westin Cincinnati

    So I’m in Cincinnati, Ohio, this week for work. (map) I flew in Tuesday night. After the “Northern Kentucky Regional Airport” and their no cabs without first getting a taxi request slip from the desk inside the airport – which took me a few minutes to figure out, and a $25 cab ride into Cincinnati,…

  • This time with feeling

    Alright, let’s try this one again. I started tried to start two blogs at once back in May of 2006 – this one, and Open Parenthesis. I did pretty well on Open Parenthesis – not trying to do multiple posts-per-day or anything, but at least it is a real live blog. This one’s been dead…
