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…

Looking for a new WordPress Plug-in
Anyone know of a decent WordPress plugin for blogging about new music purchases? What I’m looking for is basically something to pull in the CD image and perhaps tracklist (from Amazon, from iTunes, from eMusic, from discogs.org – I don’t care) for a CD based on title/artist, and dump it in to a blog entry.…

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…

Dinosaur Jr in store – Harvard Square Urban Outfitters, June 11

The folks at Free YR Radio are sponsoring an in-store appearance by Dinosaur Jr. at the Harvard Square Urban Outfitters. Newbury Comics in Harvard Square.…

Long Island Railroad Sign
Long Island Railroad Sign What do you suppose the icon in the bottom right of the “fire” section is supposed to be? I can understand the “tracks are electrified” icon, but what does a bomb have to do with following crew member directions, or not pulling the emergency cord?
