SUMMARY:Veg Night Out! - Kimoto Rooftop & Bar\, Brooklyn's First Japanese Beer Garden
DESCRIPTION:Let’s spend a beautiful late spring night with fellow Vegetarians and Vegans at the Kimoto Rooftop & Bar\, Brooklyn’s first Japanese rooftop been garden. **Set atop Downtown Brooklyn’s Sheraton and Aloft hotels on the 24th floor with expansive views.** This will be a perfect location for us to chill and enjoy the evening. \n**From 6:30-9:30pm**\n**Kimoto Rooftop Bar – Japanese Rooftop Beer Garden**\n**216 Duffield Street (Willoughby Street)\, downtown Brooklyn** \n**Zagat:** “Downtown Brooklyn gets its first-ever rooftop beer garden with an Asian twist in Kimoto ([http://www.kimotorooftop.com/](http://www.kimotorooftop.com/))… expect 20 kraft beers (mostly microbrews from Japan)…. this sophisticated rooftop … has pale woods and grays and features a serene rock garden\, a lounge and an expansive roof terrace with Lady Liberty views.” \n**New York Magazine:** “The Japanese surname Kimoto means ‘one who lives beneath the trees’ and that tranquility is the aim of this Downtown Brooklyn venue\, from the creators of Mira Sushi & Izakaya…” \n**The Wall Street Journal:** “The killer views\, from the bar’s location on the 24th floor of the Aloft New York Brooklyn hotel\, are almost irrelevant. For owner Andrew Lee\, the real inspiration for opening the place was his travels through the Far East.” \n**Rooftopcrawl.com:** “Kimoto’s Zen-style design boasts an indoor rock garden and more than 300 sublime plants… Breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty\, Barclays Center\, and Hudson River create a friendly\, casual gathering space.” \nWith all the wonderful vegetarians and vegans who attend each of our events\, every event we do is liked by our members\, but our “Veg Night Out!” events are the most popular of all. People enjoy the fact they can mingle (speak with lots of different people)\, and they love the beautiful venues that we go to. Join us for a stellar evening of lively conversation and lovely surroundings with fellow vegetarians and vegans. \n**We are an extremely friendly and welcoming group.** To our new members: Come to the meetup and make new friends! We are delighted to meet you\, and to welcome you to the group. We’ll have our own section in the club\, and you can get to know all our wonderful members. \nThis event has no cover and no minimum. But please do buy a drink or two\, or as many as you like. For those who do not wish to drink alcohol\, the bar has a full selection of non-alcoholic drinks\, juices\, soda and water. The venue requests that you dress appropriately: business\, business casual or smart casual. \n**Subway Directions:** This venue is conveniently located in Downtown Brooklyn\, near Manhattan. Take the A\, C\, F\, N or R trains to Jay Street-MetroTech\, or the 2 or 3 trains to Hoyt Street. \n**Where to meet:** Our group will be meeting outdoors on the roof. \nCome relax and imbibe drinks (alcoholic or virgin\, however you like ’em) after work with us at Kimoto Rooftop & Bar! \nEddie

My parents an sister are not into vegan food. They LOVED IT. My sister has some interesting allergies that make vegan food tricky and she was able to order food here and loved what she had. My kids loved the variety. Portions are great sizes. Seating for large parties is available due to the type of seething they have inside. Outdoor seating is more for small parties.

SUMMARY:VSDC LGBTQIA+  Bowling / Bocce and Vegan Food: Pinstripes\, Bethesda MD
DESCRIPTION:VSDC is so excited for the third meeting of the LGBTQIA+ subgroup! Because it is so important to have community\, let’s continue our monthly tradition of gathering to celebrate our intersection of queerness and vegan lifestyles. We invite vegans and veg-curious folks to come bowling at Pinstripes Bethesda. The event is on Saturday June 17th from 4pm to 6pm. This sounds like the kind of fun that could get booked up quickly\, so please RSVP ASAP so we can make a reservation! Bocce courts can hold up to 10 people\, and we can have 8 people to a bowling lane. \nWHAT: Late lunch/early dinner\, bowling\, and bocce at Pinstripes Bethesda. This is part of a series of events once a month: a great way to patronize local business\, enjoy delicious vegan food\, play games together\, and meet LGBTQIA+ vegans/veg-curious people. \nFEE: $10 per person for bocce\, or $20 per person including shoes for bowling. \nFOOD: They have a full vegan menu! Attendees can choose to order some food to share. \nWHO: All VSDC and/or meetup members are invited! Bring fellow queers\, even if they’re not vegan. It’s always fun to extend community! Who doesn’t like bowling? (And if you don’t\, they also have bocce!) \nWHEN: Saturday\, June 17th\, 4pm-6pm \nWHERE: Pinstripes Bethesda\, 11920 Grand Park Avenue\, Bethesda\, MD. (We chose this location because there is a Metro very nearby\, unlike their Georgetown location. The nearest Metro stop is North Bethesda\, which is only a four-block walk from the venue.) \nPARKING: There is street parking; please be sure to read and follow all parking signs and instructions. \n***Please RSVP quickly\, so we can make a reservation with an accurate head-count.*** \n*In an effort to reduce no shows for space-limited events\, we are now tracking those who fail to show up and do not change their RSVP beforehand. After three strikes you’re out – meaning that you will not be able to attend future space-limited VSDC events. It is unfair to those on the waitlist and to the restaurant when there are no-shows.* \nWhen you sign up to join\, you automatically acknowledge [VSDC’s Liability Waiver](https://vsdc.org/activity-waiver/) \nBy coming to this event\, we expect you to follow the code of conduct found at [Policies – VSDC – Veg Society of DC](https://vsdc.org/policies/) \nLooking forward to seeing you all there! \nvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv \nVSDC (http://www.vsdc.org) is a clear and consistent voice for improving the lives of all beings through education on the benefits of a vegan diet & lifestyle.

DESCRIPTION:***It is perfectly all right to arrive at 7:30pm or 8:00pm\, though arriving at 6:30 or 7:00 is ideal. The group will be hanging out until 9:00pm at the venue.*** \nJoin us as we’ll be visiting **Spicy Moon at Bowery**\, at their recently opened location\, with 11\,000 square feet and seating capacity of almost 200 seats\, Spicy Moon at Bowery is by far the largest vegan restaurant in New York City. Our group hosted Meetup events at Spicy Moon’s original location at 328 E 6th St way back in March 2019. Spicy Moon certainly has come a long way and we would love to support their new venture. \nAs EATER New York states ” For spicy Sichuan fit for vegans: Getting Sichuan food as a non-meat-eater can sometimes be frustrating\, given that many of the cuisine’s staple dishes almost always include meat. But at Sichuan restaurant Spicy Moon\, nothing is off limits. Aside from the “Beyond Beef” in the dan dan noodles and a few other items\, the dishes focus on actual vegetables and tofu\, rather than faux meat replacements. The three-cup mixed vegetables include flavorful cauliflower\, broccoli\, and peppers; Brussels sprouts feature numbing Sichuan peppercorns\, and vegetable wontons come floating in an actually spicy chili oil..”. \nFor more info :\n**Website** – [https://www.spicymoonnyc.com/](https://www.spicymoonnyc.com/)\nor Follow them on Instagram **@spicymoonnyc** \nCome join us at Spicy Moon at Bowery for an evening of delicious vegan cuisine! \nI want to share some recent **Google reviews – Rating 4.6/5** \nYolanda Zhou – “For someone who normally doesn’t eat a lot of vegan food\, I thought Spicy Moon was delicious. The flavors are great and all the dishes were prepared really well. My favorites were the brussel sprouts and crispy eggplant. We had a large group and they were also very accommodating and friendly” \nErica A – “A close friend of mine is a vegetarian and was visiting New York for the first time\, so I wanted to meet her somewhere where she could enjoy most if not all the things on the menu. Spicy Moon fit the bill and was absolutely delicious (even for us omnivores)! The dan dan noodles were our favorite by a long shot\, but I also really enjoyed the General Tso’s mushrooms and the salt & pepper mixed veggies. I’m not often in this area\, but I would totally come back here if given the chance…” \n**Join us from 6:30pm-9:00pm**\n**Spicy Moon at Bowery**\n**265 Bowery · New York\, NY** \nWith all the wonderful vegetarians and vegans who attend each of our events\, people enjoy the fact they can mingle (speak with lots of different people)\, and they love the beautiful venues that we go to.
