Exciting news for all of us veggies: The 1st Annual Brooklyn Vegetarian Week begins Sunday. Seven area restaurants and one online restaurant (a new concept) are participating, offering special price fixe menus and deals all week. There is also a full calendar of events, including teachings, lectures and group info sessions. Highlights of the participant list, in my opinion, include Jill’s in Park Slope, Red Bamboo in Fort Greene and a special dinner on Saturday, Oct 27 with 4 Course Vegan in Willyburg. From the website:
"Vegetarianism means different things to different people…
…making ethical consumer choices
…creating a health-supportive diet
…practicing Ahimsa, a Sanskrit term meaning non-violence
…feeling deprived, hungry, and bored
This October, Brooklyn Goes Veg! invites you to discover for yourself what it means to dine at a restaurant offering new and exciting ways to eat your veggies. For the Vegetarians, Omnivores, and the Veg-Curious, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Bon Appétit!"
