SUMMARY:Pre-Christmas Dinner and Walk - Bryant Park Winter Wonderland & Rock Center Tree
DESCRIPTION:I may be somewhat partial\, however\, there’s no place like New York City during the holiday season. During this annual festive period\, the streets and shops are buzzing\, the ice skating rinks are filled with figure eights\, arabesques and camel spins\, while onlookers cozy together sipping on hot chocolate or mulled hot apple cider. \nAt Bryant Park you may witness such events and perhaps even partake in them. The park is set up like a fairytale winter wonderland\, with a sparkling tree\, a delightful skating rink\, beautiful holiday decorations everywhere\, and holiday\, artist and food vendors in charming kiosks throughout the park — these do beautifully add to the holiday spirit of the place\, you will see (while you are sipping on your hot apple cider with cinnamon stick). \nWe will tour beautiful Bryant Park\, order dinner from the few vegan food vendors\, sit by the ice skating rink\, and take in the delightful atmosphere. \n**Where To Meet: We will meet at 6:45pm right on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Ave (the Bryant Park corner of this street intersection).** I (David Greene) am 6′ 4″ will be holding a sign that says “VEG MEETUP”. **We’ll be waiting on the corner till just 7:00pm\, so don’t be late!** At 7:00pm we will enter the park. \n**After we tour and dine at Bryant Park\, we will walk over to Rockefeller Center to see their iconic Christmas tree.** \nCome join us for this delightful evening. \nDavid

SUMMARY:Springs Holiday Vegan Market!
DESCRIPTION:Hi\, all! \nI’ve recently taken over as organizer of the Colorado Vegans Meetup. I also just recently kicked-off the El Paso Co. Vegans Meetup group. In the coming months I’ll be working to figure out the best process to merge the groups into one robust Springs area Meetup\, which\, when the time comes\, will mean interested members from one group will need to join the other. I’ll keep you posted on that process! \nIn the meantime\, I hope you’ll be able to go check out the Springs Holiday Market on December 11th! I’ve been to these markets before\, and they’re always a fun and bountiful event! \nhttps://www.springsveganmarket.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/springsveganmarket/ \nJust sharing for folks to be aware of. If you are going and want to coordinate meeting up at the event with other Meetup members\, go ahead and use the event chat to figure out logistics. Feel free to RSVP if you just want to indicate your intention to go! \nHappy gift gathering! \nWren

The food was delicious and the service was amazing! We ordered the buffalo cauliflower drumsticks (very spicy but so good)\, truffle Mac and cheese\, crab cakes\, truffle fries\, strawberry arugula salad and three types of tacos (all the vegan versions). Flavors were delicious and portion sizes were great\, perfect for sharing too! For desert we had the death by chocolate\, carrot cake and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. All were delicious. I’m not a fan of cheesecake but the white chocolate cheesecake was one of the best desserts I’ve had. The carrot cake and the chocolate cake were moist and frosting was amazing. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was perfect and I can’t give our waitress enough praise. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a delicious meal! We even took some food to go:)” \nDima – “Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful\, cozy and elegant! The food is fresh and awesome!

SUMMARY:VSDC Book Club discusses "Kindred" (online)
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Veg Society of DC Book Club discussion of Kindred by Octavia E. Butler. \n“Perhaps Butler’s best known work\, Kindred reimagines the time travel narrative.

Indian-spiced chickpea fries are a swell snack\, as are the pan-seared mushroom and chive dumplings with ginger-balsamic dipping sauce. … The many facets of each dish breed indifference to animal protein. They do the same thing for refined sugar\, especially when it comes to raw cacao mousse pie in a walnut-coconut-date crust. ” \nNew York Magazine’s take on Peacefood\, “Vegan cafe/diner combo promises to please all but the most devoted carnivore.” CBS New York rates it as one of the 10 best restaurants for Vegetarians in NYC: “At this elegant upscale vegan bakery and cafe\, baked goods are made with spelt instead of flour. Even their vegan Caesar salad has spelt croutons. The chocolate chip cookie sandwich has a oozy-chocolate pudding like center in the middle of two crispy spelt cookies. Or try the grasshopper variety with a tangy mint filling.” \nIndeed\, Peacefood is also known for their extensive and heavenly dessert menu\, including tiramisu\,cheesecake\, macaroons\, brownies\, key lime pie\, strawberry shortcake\, and chocolate chip cookie sandwiches. The Culinary Society of Columbia University says: “Many of the desserts vegans must constantly deprive themselves of were there: cupcakes\, tiramisu\, and brownies. We ordered both the tiramisu and a cinnamon bun; we were both amazed on how identical each tasted to its dairy filled alternative.” \nFor those of you who have never attended one of our Meetup events: this is an incredibly friendly & welcoming group. We’ll be meeting right outside Peacefood Cafe at 1:00pm\, and then walking in as a group when the restaurant opens at 1:00pm. Everyone pays for their own meal. Easy! \n**Please arrive promptly at 1:00pm. There will be one seating only. Everyone pays for their own meal.** \n**Train Directions:** Take the L\, N\, Q\, R\, 4\, 5 & 6 Trains to Union Sq. 14th St. \n*****Please RSVP for one Thanksgiving venue only. Please do not RSVP at two Thanksgiving venues to hold a spot at an additional venue.***** \nLooking forward to see you on Thanksgiving for a delicious lunch with our wonderful vegetarian & vegan members. \nDavid

SUMMARY:Vegan Thanksgiving Lunch at Urban Vegan Kitchen (Limited Attendance) - Venue #2
DESCRIPTION:It has long been a tradition for our group to organize a Meetup on Thanksgiving Day\, for those of us who are in the city without their family over the holiday. \nWe also warmly invite those who may be going later in the day to their family celebrations\, to start their Thanksgiving Day with fellow vegetarians and vegans. \n**Urban Vegan Kitchen** is a trendy American / International vegan restaurant on Carmine Street in the West Village. It is one of my personal favorites\, and a late night hangout for some of our meetup group members. They have a large and delectable all-vegan menu. Click here ([http://cheqout.com/o/uvk](http://cheqout.com/o/uvk)) for Urban Vegan Kitchen’s extensive vegan menu\, which includes cocktails and alcoholic drinks. \n*****Please RSVP for one Thanksgiving venue only. Please do not RSVP at two Thanksgiving venues to hold a spot at an additional venue.***** \n**Please arrive promptly\, by 12:00 noon. There will be one seating only. We will be meeting as a group outside the restaurant\, and then entering as a group when their doors open at 12:00 noon. Plan to arrive early if needed\, in order to be on time for our group seating at 12 noon. Thank you.** \nLast week (Nov. 1st)\, **TheTravel.com** listed Urban Vegan Kitchen as one of the “**10 Best Vegan Restaurants in NYC**” and wrote: “Feast on dishes like Korean BBQ “wings\,” Chick-un & Waffles\, and a shrimp taco so convincing that it’s real shrimp\, you’ll question if the staff secretly snuck seafood in your dish. Spoiler alert: they did not; their “shrimp” is made of konjac\, a starchy root vegetable native to Southeast Asia.” \nFor those of you who have never attended one of our Meetup events: this is an incredibly friendly & welcoming group. We’ll be meeting right outside Urban Vegan Kitchen at 12 noon\, and then walking in as a group when the restaurant opens. Everyone pays for their own meal. Easy! \n*****Please RSVP for one Thanksgiving venue only. Please do not RSVP at two Thanksgiving venues to hold a spot at an additional venue.***** \n**Train Directions:** A\, B\, C\, D\, E\, F & M Trains to West 4th St.-Washington Sq. Or take the 1 Train to Houston St. \nLooking forward to see you on Thanksgiving for a delicious lunch with our wonderful vegetarian and vegan members. \n**Please arrive promptly\, by 12:00 noon. There will be one seating only. We will be meeting as a group outside the restaurant\, and then entering as a group when their doors open at 12:00 noon.
