Come form a team of veg singles and hunt around the National Gallery of Art for answers to questions about the art!
You do not need to come with a team – as a singles event, most people come alone so they can meet new people!

Enter from 4th Street NW, go through the security checkpoint, and head straight in to the area with indoor trees. Look for your host, Kathryn, in a green VSDC shirt.
Each team will have an hour and a half to find as many answers to the scavenger hunt questions as possible. We will meet back up at the end to announce the winning group! Anyone who wants to go get food after the event can head to a nearby vegan restaurant.

Emma L – “This restaurant exceeded all of my expectations.
Although the service was very attentive and friendly, the star of the show was the food. Everything was so creative, flavorful, colorful, and filling! We had the Bole Bowl and the Mercato Platter, it was unbelievably delicious. I am not vegan but the flavor associations were perfect and surprising. Also the quantities are very generous. I will definitely come back!”
Mandy K – “Absolutely love RAS Plant Based and so glad to see them doing well having a second location (the Brooklyn one is awesome too apparently offering the traditional Ethiopian dishes while the Bleeker one explores with more Americanized items). Everything is refined sugar free (they use agave or dates as sweetener including desserts!). The lions mane mushroom sandwich and the cauliflower wings were super good! Friendly and efficient service”
