Thanks for the info, MissLeigh. :hi:

I do hope they re-open somewhere else... the sign didn't mention anything about a new store though... just a nice handwritten "thank you and good bye". Either way, I hope the owners find happiness in their next endeavors... I will miss that place.

I live in Buford, very close to Hall County.

Welcome! :)

i'm in east atlanta. lately i've been cooking more than eating out, but some of the places i haunt are cameli's (or whatever they're calling themselves these days, veggie cafe or something) on glenwood, moe's (rice, beans, guac, and tortillas are vegan plus they have tofu), return to eden market on cheshire bridge carries a fake turkey salad sandwich, and just the spread, that i'm completely addicted to, queen of sheba ethiopian restaurant by target on north druid hills told me all of their veggie dishes are butter free, udipi cafe on lawrenceville hwy is vegetarian indian and has vegan options, r. thomas on peachtree is great for mixed company, cafe sunflower of course, just tried veggieland and will be back, soul vegetarian on north highland, persepolos on roswell road has vegan options if you ask, green sprout at monroe & piedmont, harmony on buford hwy, and chinese buddha on 14th st. i'm sure i'm forgetting something. when i have a mighty need for a special sweet, i'll hit whole foods for a vegan chocolate cookie, pick up a piece of cake at sevananda market (love the chocolate & carrot) or pick up something at cameli's. had a great raspberry chocolate cake there. damn, now i want dessert....

Hey Abra! :hi:

You are making me hungry! Stop! Seriously, thanks... this is an INCREDIBLE list, which I plan to use! Much appreciated!

hehe, sorry guac! i can't stand eating the same thing all the time, so i'm obsessed with having lots and lots of different food options.

Welcome! :)

Do you live by there too?

Oh, Cool
:)

Does anyone know what happened? I will really miss that place and its delicious food!

It moved.

Fung's Vegetarian has reopened, in Roswell....

***4 miles from my house!!!!***

:D :D :D :D :D :D

I decided to head over to Norcross today to eat at one of my favorite restaurants... Fung's Vegetarian... and they were out of business! :(

This was the nicest place run by the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. They had left a sign on the door saying the restaurant had closed down and thanking everyone for their business.

Hi... just bumped into your question when I was looking up some veggie restaurant stuff. Fung's is now in the Roswell area. They just put an ad in our local ad flier and I called them and they said they are on Woodstock road and just moved from Norcross. So your favorite restaurant is still around! Just had to let you know... Sonia

Hey, this landed in my mailbox this week. Thought some of you might be interested.

The Vegetarian Society of Georgia (VSG) and Georgia Animal Rights and
Protection (GARP) are proud to announce an evening with The Mad Cowboy,
Howard Lyman, on Wednesday, Oct. 19 in Atlanta. Mr. Lyman is a fourth
generation cattle rancher who became vegan activist after suffering a severe health crisis.

Most people know Mr. Lyman as Oprah Winfrey‚s co-defendant in a 1996 court case filed by some Texas cattlemen. The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Lyman and Ms. Winfrey had violated a Texas law that forbids "knowingly making false statements" about agricultural business when they talked about "mad cow disease" in beef. In 1998, the Texas jury found Mr. Lyman and Ms. Winfrey were not criminally liable for their comments.

Where: The Fulton County Central Library, 1 Margaret Mitchell Square, NW,
Atlanta, GA 30303; phone (404) 730-1700. The library is in downtown Atlanta, at the corner of Forsyth Street and Carnegie Way, just two blocks south of the Peachtree Center MARTA station.

When: Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 6:30-8:30 p.m

What: His talk, "Eating the Earth a Bite at a Time" will be followed by a Q&A session and a book signing. Admission is free although we would greatly appreciate donations to help cover the costs of the event.

I live a little east of Atlanta, and go to Oxford College of Emory University in Oxford, Georgia. I think that apart from maybe a couple of hindus, I actually am the only vegan on campus. Anyone who wants to meet up sometime I would love to.

Anyone else find the Dekalb World Farmer's Market to be their favorite Atlanta hangout? haha

Hi West, the Farmer's Market in Dekalb is pretty fabulous! :)

In case you might be interested, here is a link to a vegan dining group in Atlanta (we used to be on Meetup till they started charging):

Anyone!?!?

hey, do you know what part of atlanta you'll be in?

i'll be staying here http://www.residenceinnatlanta.com/html/attractions.html

those are the nearby attractions. I have never been there. I might extend an extra day.. and arrive on the 17th.

cool, that's centrally located. too bad you're missing our monthly vegan lunch 11/12. i could do it the sat or sun. let's see if anyone else chimes in.

cant you guys move it to the 19th?!?!?!?!?!

Hey PV, glad you'll be able to visit ATL! :)

Rescheduling the monthly thing probably wouldn't work at this point (that weekend had been one of the original options but the 12th was chosen due to schedules). But, if you guys plan something we can definitely spread the word. There are several great places for veggies to visit here!

yes and if anyone who is available and willing to meet on the 19th, please let me know!! And let me know of some great places to go.. also.. do you guys know a cheaper/good hotel near the one I sent a link of above?

Thanks.. im looking forward to meeting some of you!!! im so excited!

how many VBers in Atl?

i put a message out to the vegan atlanta list to see if anyone else can make it, just in case they aren't on here. i think we have about 35 members.

i'm no help on hotels. food is another story. cafe sunflower's (http://www.cafesunflower.com/) buckhead location will be near you. green sprout (http://www.greensproutga.com/) is also nearby. if you have to eat with omnis who refuse to eat veg, r. thomas (http://www.rthomasdeluxegrill.com/) has food for omnis to vegans. they do keep exotic birds though. lush (http://www.lushcafe.com/) offers something a bit more upscale. there are two soul vegetarian (http://www.soulvegetarian.com/) locations here. that's about all i can think of right now that is close by.

Thank you abracapocus.

I am looking fwd to meeting you and the rest if anyone decide to meet.
