Andy’s Pizza - Vegan Margherita. A little pricey ($28) 😮‍💨 but so worth it🫥 Extremely crispy underside🤌

The filling is vegan chorizo (tofu & mushroom), pinto beans, avocado, & pico de gallo.

I was looking to do a vegan cooking class with my fiancé as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately, I have not been able to track down any. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If not, open to other vegan gift ideas 😁

Does anyone have any recs of where I can find buffalo seitan wings in DC?

Is there somewhere to order a main course / beastless roast for Thanksgiving? Wasn’t sure if there’s a preorder system like in my state.

Great news! They make by far the best oat mocha I've found in town.

The messaging is a little.... much given this is clearly a response to Starbucks having done the same thing already.

Also they have what looks like a delicious seasonal S'mores brownie!

At Gregorys we challenge the status quo in all that we do. We are obsessed with delivering the ultimate coffee experience to our amazing community of gregulars and we will never stop innovating and improving what we do and how we do it. ⁠
⁠
To that, we're thrilled to share that starting tomorrow, 11/11, on any beverage that includes a choice of milk, you can select whichever milk you’d like and there will be no difference in price.⁠
⁠
Our Founder and CEO, Greg, has practiced a plant-based lifestyle for the last seven years. So this adjustment is personal to us. Come see coffee differently with us and enjoy your beverage your way.

The DC Council will be hearing from the public about the bill to prohibit fur sales on Wednesday, November 13. The fur industry has been pushing back hard, so we need as many community voices as possible. You can testify over zoom, and DC Voters for Animals will be providing a free shirt (see pic below) from our new swag collection for people coming to testify in person. If you cannot make it, you can submit written testimony online which is still super!

Even if you live far from DC, you can still submit a comment or letter in support.

Check out our upcoming training on Saturday, November 9 at 12:00PM for info on what the hearings will look like, and feel free to explore the draft testimony and talking points we have assembled.

MITA is raising money and letting the public participate in supporting them and likewise earning a return directly. The terms are 11.25% a year for 3 years repaid monthly, with a minimum investment of $10.

This is a win-win as both them and individual investors get a better interest rates than banks would provide either. These bonds are unsecured though, so you may lose all or some of your investment if they default.

This is through SMBX who I've used to invest in two other vegan businesses including DC's Sticky Fingers, and I've been happy with both experiences.

I'm happy to answer any questions about the general SMBX platform if folks are interested. I'm unsure if I'll invest yet.

The Takoma Park Co-Op is a food collective in Takoma Park Maryland. All of the workers and all of the members are considered to be owners. It is a huge resource for local vegans with a large variety of vegan foods, vegan specialty foods, extensive bulk bins, organic produce, and more.

It has been closed down all summer while the ancient and worn out insides have been remodeled.

Went to Cielo Rojo in takoma Park tonight for the first time and delighted to see they had a Vegan menu and the food was great. Highly recommend it.

But it's also so ironic that all their menus come in leather binders. ah well.

fwiw there is a gas station across the road that turned its pumps into EV chargers too!

Came across this and figured I'd share. Looks like a fun time with some interesting speakers. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/join-the-launch-party-for-climate-diet-tickets-947102327557

FYI for anyone going to the Ren Faire.

1. You can bring in outside food, drinks are limited to 1 sealed water bottle.

"Can I bring drinks or food into the Festival?" in the FAQ

"We do allow food through the gates, but the festival does not permit coolers or other receptacles for carrying food/drinks."

2. there are some but very limited likely vegan options.

I strongly suggest bringing your own food if food is an important need.

Otherwise the options are spread around and from memory consist of

1. Various potato stuff, baked, fries, sweet potato fries , "twist" basically ribbon chips
2. Fried Mushrooms
3. Fried Thai green beans
4. Fried Pickle
5. Dairy free crepe ( no idea about egg)
6. Falafel Sandwhich
7. Vegetarian Rice Bowl (hopefull vegan)
8. Fruit stand
9. Sweet nuts
10. Pretzels (butter?)

As with all fast food though you're going to have cross contamination with meats and oil, and who knows what is in their batter for things, though in the past I seem to recall they have that information if you ask.

Was sad to see that it's gone in Georgetown.

Doubly sad cause we had planned on getting a snack there, and then we also discovered our backup Bakeshop now closed at 2 as well it is no longer all vegan :(

Tyra Banks has an ice cream pop up in Woodly for a month or two.

While the website lists 2 vegan flavors this one only has the Chocolate Cookie & Cream.

It's decent, actually creamy, but a little pricy too for the size, so I wouldn't go out of my way for it and preferably go to Van Leeuwen in Adams Morgan if you can

https://www.smize.com/our-flavor note this only shows you flavors on mobile.

Reddit closes subreddits when they aren't very active.

I'm doing my part, I made this thread. :-)

What is your favorite vegan place to eat these days?

I've been going to Seneb in Takoma/DC again.

Hey yall! I'm the new mod because the previous one seems to have been banned from Reddit.

This isn't the most active group, but if there are any automated things that have been hindering your use of it please let me know.

I'm very interested in promoting veganism through local community and support of businesses and initiatives in the DMV area.
