Veggie Pride Parade

On Sunday, May 18 – thanks to the VivaVegie Society – the Big Apple will play host to America’s first ever Veggie Pride Parade. Beginning at noon, the parade will wind its way through Greenwich Village – culminating in all-day veg lovefest at Washington Square Park.

In a sprout-friendly city like New York, there are many reasons to march or take part and some of the goals set forth by the organizers of the event can be shared by all. So grab your tofutti cutie and join the fun.

New York City: Keeping it Reel

It’s no secret that the Big Apple is an extremely popular film location. This week at the Film Forum, you have the opportunity to join Manhattan’s movie mavens and experience “old” New York City – from the 50s to the 70s - on the big screen:

 

Wednesday: Midnight Cowboy

 

Thursday and Friday: Annie Hall

 

Saturday: West Side Story

 

Walk don’t run to the Film Forum.

Zen and the Art of Meatless Maintenance

March 20 is the annual Great American Meatout, a golden opportunity to try one of New York’s many meatless venues, for example: Zen Burger. For those craving shrimp or burgers or chicken, beef, and hot dogs, Zen Burger is fast food with a twist: all the taste without the cruelty or cholesterol. Toss in a soy milkshake and a side of fries for the full NYC diner experience…just blocks from Grand Central Station.

 

Anyone seeking other Big Apple venues for their own personal Meatout Moment can connect with the good folks at Viva Vegie for some goodly gastronomical guidance.

 

P.S. It’s never too early to start planning for New York’s first ever Veggie Pride Day on May 18. Soy to the world…
