Thanks for the suggestion, DreamWavez...I went to UW-Madison for a year before I transfered to Beloit College. Unfortunately, I was an omni back then....but from what I know, you're 100% right. Again, unfortunately, I don't have a car. Oh well, I'll be in NYC/Ann Arbor/Portland for the next year and a half after this term ends (unless I do an honors term) so much more veg friendly there than Beloit.

This Friday there will be a Fur-Free Friday demonstration.
Let me know if you are interested and I can give you the details.

I'm over in Beloit for school......it's disappointing to go to the local CubFoods and not find any Amy's frozen meals. I'd like to eat them for sunday dinner. Any veg in Beloit?

Have you tryed shopping at Woodman's....I'll bet they have a better selection of vegetarian stuff. I go to the one in Green Bay and I get a bunch of things that I can't find here in the Milwaukee area.

The subtle lure of well-blended spices, the wide variety of fresh flatbreads, and even the nutty flavor of basmati rice all combine to make this exotic restaurant an ideal destination for vegan diners seeking adventurous fare. The menu also includes delicious baked mild curries, vegetable fritters, and wonderful samosas.

So c'mon out Wisconsin veggies and leave the Chicago Vegan Meetup alone, they have enough people already. ;)

Hi Carnelian! Sorry, I haven't been here in a while and it looks like I forgot to pay my dues.....so my message box went from 250 or whatever to 50. I'll have to take care of that.
Anyway, Shoot! I have a family B-day thing get together that day :brood:
I'll see if there is anyway I can work something out. I'll get back to you about it....check here for the message in case I'm not able to get my PM box fixed by then.
:kiss:

thanks for posting this. I am currently living in WI. I wonder if the AR here knows about this. I could post this on our new vegan meetup.


Edit: I just noticed that Wanda had posted this 3 weeks ago but for one for January. :)

I'm from WI! About 30 min from Green Bay, where they have an awesome veggie restaurant; Kavarna!

Kavarna is awesome! :lick: I always stop there when I'm in Green Bay.

Hey everyone. My name is Samantha and I"m from WISCSONSIN. I'm near platteville, in the SW corner.:bobo:

hello everyone from wi, anyone else from green bay?

Hi Bardo :hi:

I'm from Green Bay and so is my sister who is known as computergirl on VB.

I'm in West Allis :) 2 questions for the rest of you

1) Know of any veg friendly restaurants NOT downtown? I haven't eaten out since I became vegetarian...it's getting desperate! The nearest I've been able to find is the Elm Grove Inn in which only has 3 offerings at $14 a plate...still deciding if I want to visit them.

2) Has MARV disbanded? I found their website a few weeks back. Looks out of date and no response to emails :(

Hi everyone!

I'm in the Kenosha area, wondering if anyone else is around here too. I've only lived in WI for 3 years, before that I was in CA for 18 years. Since I haven't been here long and I have just started being a vegetarian I was wondering if anyone knows of any nifty places to shop or eat out.

Thanks!

Hey there! I'm a Vegan from Green Bay!
I eat at Kavarna a lot. But that's about the only place for me to eat comfortably. I hate asking to "hold... well everything." Hehe.

A friend informed me last night that the new Glass Nickel Pizza Co. on Ridge Rd has some vegan labeled options and pizzas so I'm going there this afternoon to check it out.

I tried to read through all the messages to find all the Green Bay people but there are a lot! PM me if you're from the area and maybe we can all meet up sometime!
