I was just up in Albany last night and had dinner at Bombers. It's a burrito bar on Lark St (just down the street from Shades of Green, actually). They're very veg friendly -- had a BBQ "chicken" burrito, had to share it with my sister, they're HUGE. It was quite yummy.

Just wanted to throw that out there for all you upstaters!

I viewed that place when I was up there a month or so ago. (I went to Shades of Green)

Any suggestions for health food stores in general?

There's the Honest Weight Food Co-op. (I'm not allowed to post their link cause I'm not up to 10 posts yet, but you can find their site if you do a search). They're on Central Ave. And if you feel like traveling to Latham, I know there's a good one on Rt. 9 by Hoffman's Playland, but I can't remember the name.

I've actually been to their website. I'm gonna check it out when I'm up there.

Right now, I live outside of NYC, but I'm moving to Albany (if I can find a place to live :think: ) in 10 wks 6 days. AHHH!!! So i need resources!

:yes: sign me up :yes:
ditto, I'm game. I'd love to meet some new veg*ns in NYC and outskirts.
I've lived in the city for a little under a yr (grad student at the New School)

See, everyone SAYS they're game, but then don't show up. :doh: I guess we could try *one more time* before Jes and I move outta the NY metro area.

I'd show. Assuming I had the $$.

But, I would really show up this time around...

for those here who live in Western New York, this is a newly forming group to put WNY ( Esp. Buffalo) area veg people in touch with each other and cover local topics. There is a huge need for such a group in this area and maybe we can grow this group and make it a great way to find support, build friendships and share news.

Please visit, and help this group grow!

Last weekend I was visiting an omni friend of mine in NYC. I was also thinking about Jes, Rabid Child and the rest of the gang, though.

Hey. My names Andrew I go to college in Newburgh, but spend a good deal of time in Poughkeepsie and New Paltz. Any Vegans around the area?

I'm in lower westchester now, moving to Albany in 9 wks and 5 days. So I'm either a bit south or a bit north.

One of the former owners of the Veg City Diner has opened another vegetarian diner in NYC. It's called Curly's Lunch, and it's at 328 E. 14th St between 1st and 2nd Aves. They have the same great vegan desserts as Veg City did. I haven't been there yet, but plan on it soon.

Thanks for posting that! I was seriously pissed when VCD disappeared. Red Bamboo has become my new favorite veg restaurant, but I'll have to try this new place next time I'm in the city.

Hello
in a few months we from Speyer (Germany) will do an exchange with a school in bridgewater. I know the chance is very less but are here some pupils from bridgewater who would give me vegan food who are going to have an exchange with the gymnasium am kaiserdom speyer next year???
If not could you please say me where i could try it?
Thanx

hey...i am going to be visiting nyc next week. im sure there are lots of post about resturaunts in here, but my computer is slow to go back and look at them all lol. i was wondering if i was only to check out one vegetarian resturaunt place in nyc which one should i check out? i heard about the candle cafe? thats about it, and the place owned by moby. i also plan on going into greenwhich village, is there anything around that area? and maybe somewhere my nonvegetarian friend would enjoy? lol...what about whole foods..i heard there is a huge one somewhere, i would like to check that out. and mooshoes? thanks for the help! taran80@aol.com

If you can only visit one veggie place and you have some cash to spend I'd hit up Candle 79, located at 79th street and Lexington Ave. It's all vegan & organic and some of the best food I've ever eaten. I've been there with non-veggies and they've all had a great experience and they LOVE the seitan. If you want something a little less expensive, Candle Cafe (maybe 75th and 3rd) is decent as well. My personal favorite is Red Bamboo, on 4th street in the village. I've never visited mooshoes, but it looks like they're on the lower east side, at 152 Allen Street.

Have fun in the city!

hey everyone. just wanted to say hello. i just moved to NYC (from SF) and am new to vegetarianism as well. thanks for all the tips on restaurants. i noticed last night that there's actually a zen palate in my hood-- can't wait to try it out. and the others as well.

Hi to everyone again. I have been MIA for a while, one of the reasons is that I moved to NYC!!! Yeah! And I don't know anyone here, hehe. I don't start work til next week and I need a shopping buddy or somthing :-P So who else is bored and wants to meet up in NYC?

Hey! I live in Poughkeepsie, go to school in New Paltz, and am working in Newburgh this summer. And I'm a vegan. :)
