Arriving at 7:00 or 8:00 pm is perfectly fine. Everyone pays for their own meal.***** \nJoin us for an experience to dine at one of the newest additions to the group of restaurants from City Roots Hospitality and Chef Guy Vaknin. Sharing from their website\, “Coletta is an intimate vegan and kosher dining experience that offers a fresh culinary perspective to Italian cuisine. Explore distinct flavors from Italy on our menu of brick oven pizzas\, fresh pastas\, unforgettable entrées\, desserts\, and espresso. We look forward to hosting you at Coletta”. \nFor those of you who have never heard of Chef Guy Vaknin\, Guy is a world renowned vegan chef\, celebrated for his distinctive and approachable plant-based cuisine. Together with his wife\, Tali\, they developed their signature vegan sushi and the Beyond Sushi brand was born. After successfully opening multiple Beyond Sushi locations throughout New York City\, the duo continued their vision of creating global vegan cuisine by opening Willow and Coletta. \nAnd Coletta has been well received by the vegan community\, since opening in Gramercy Park this past Valentine’s Day. Reviews on HappyCow.com are shared below.\n**Eligbutler**\n17 Feb 2023\n*“Best Garlic Knots EVER!!!!*\n*Came here for an anniversary with my girlfriend — the food\, the atmosphere\, and the service were all incredible!*\n*We got the Putanesca “Meatballs” and the Crispy “Calamari” for our appetizers\, accompanied by a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Those two appetizers absolutely stole the show of the night. For our entree\, we shared the Wild Mushroom Truffle Pizza (GF) and the Penne alle Vodka (GF). Both were great\, but again\, the appetizers remain in first place for me. After dinner\, I enjoyed a Raspberry Limonchello cocktail\, which was delicious and sweet\, with the perfect amount of alcohol.*\n*The restaurant is a smaller space with a bar\, but seems to go back very far into different rooms. The lighting and decor are charming and comforting. Our server\, Alex\, was so incredible and accommodating\, and even had the time and kindness to ask about our lives and talk to us\, leading into a whole in-depth conversation!”* \n**Kcyogi**\n07 Feb 2023\n*“My new favorite vegan restaurant!*\n*Finally had the chance to dine at Coletta and it far surpassed my vegan expectations! There is an excellent selection of food items to choose from. We ordered family style and tried numerous dishes. Each meal was wonderful. The flavors\, combinations and presentation was impressive. One of the top vegan places with great vegan pizzas! The ambiance was very pleasant and comfortable. The staff was nice and helpful too. Great place for a romantic dinner date.”* \nExperience their menu at: [https://www.colettanyc.com/](https://www.colettanyc.com/) \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. \nSo come and experience the Vegan Italian Restaurant for yourself. \nStefan \n*****When you arrive\, ask to be seated with the Meetup group\, which will be in the back room.

SUMMARY:VSDC LGBTQIA+  Board Games and Vegan Food: The Board Room DC
DESCRIPTION:VSDC is so excited for the second meeting of the LGBTQIA+ subgroup! Because it is so important to have community\, let’s gather again to celebrate our intersection of queerness and vegan lifestyles. We invite vegans and veg-curious folks to come play board games at The Board Room DC. The event is on Saturday May 13th from 1pm to 3pm. We will all bring or order vegan food from local restaurants (this venue only serves drinks) and enjoy the fun atmosphere. This place rents board games for $2\, so it should be an entertaining and affordable time for us to continue to build memories together! \nWHAT: Drinks and lunch at The Board Room in DC. 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: It’s free to show up\, and board games are $2 to rent. They have an extensive menu of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks so please support the establishment (and drink responsibly). \nFOOD: None there\, but plenty of vegan restaurants nearby to order from or bring food from – to enjoy while playing board games. The Board Room has a strict policy of no outside drinks of any kind\, but food is fine and welcome. \nWHO: All VSDC and/or meetup members ages 21+ are invited. This is technically a bar\, but they do serve non-alcoholic beverages. Bring fellow queers\, even if they’re not vegan. It’s always fun to extend community! \nWHEN: Saturday\, May 13th\, 1pm-3pm \nWHERE: The Board Room DC\, 1737 Connecticut Ave NW\, Washington\, DC (in the Kalorama neighborhood) \nPARKING: There is street parking\, but it might be tricky. The nearest Metro stop is Dupont Circle\, which is only a three-block walk from the venue. \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/) \n*** \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. Sharing food is the bond that brings families together; so it is with VSDC. From simply “breaking bread” to experiencing delicious and nutritious vegan foods from around the world\, we make your journey easier\, enjoyable & meaningful. \n**VSDC. Creating communities.

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

SUMMARY:VSDC Book Club discusses "What the Constitution Means to Me" (online)
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Veg Society of DC Book Club discussion of Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me. The discussion takes place online via zoom. \nAt 15\, Heidi Schreck started traveling the country\, taking part in constitutional debates to earn money for college. In this play\, she traces the effect the Constitution has had on four generations of women in her family. \nOur usual requirement is to read at least half the book but for this meeting only please try to read the whole book (only 96 pages) or watch the [film version of the play](https://www.amazon.com/What-Constitution-Means-Me-Official/dp/B08KRNSLB6)\, which is essentially the same text. Also RSVP at least two days before the meeting. \nPeople who RSVP yes will get the zoom details to join the discussion the weekend before the meeting. The details will not be posted on meetup. \nThe VSDC Book Club began meeting online in March 2020 (previously we met in vegetarian restaurants in DC or nearby Maryland or Virginia). We read fiction and nonfiction in alternating months\, about any topic.
