Forum: Illinois

Hey all! Iowan here, but will be in Chicago this weekend visiting my brother. I'm the lone veggie, but am looking for restaurant recs. We will primarily be in the Boystown/Wrigleyville areas. I love local places usually.

I thought this was pretty cool, you can register emergency contacts with the DMV in case you're in an accident and they need to notify someone. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/ecd/home.html

November 1st is Worldwide VB Meetup Day!! Who's comin and where are we eating??? We've got some of the BEST veggie restaraunts in the country!! Lets use 'em! Any suggestions? I LOVE Chicago Diner and Alice & Friends. I've only been to 3 of the veg places in the city so I'm always down for...

Hey guys, after reading about the federal law Obama recently signed I realized just how in the dark I was on LGBT rights.... or lack there of. I decided to do something about it and signed up to work with the Chicago chapter of the HRC. I signed up to help with a gala in Chicago on Saturday,...

I can't find it anywhere else!

I've always kind of naïvely accepted the idea that Chicago is a real city. Much of the discussion in the Illinois forum revolves around Chicago, and the descriptions of the various vegetarian restaurants in the city certainly creates a vivid impression of their reality. Recently, though, I've been...

http://chicagoveganmania.com/ I just found out this existed. I definitely want to go. I haven't been to any veg-related thing all year. Mostly due to my age/lack of drivers license/I'm not exactly comfortable around many strangers if I'm alone, I do not know of any veg*n where I live, and it's...

Has anyone been to Frontera Grill or Scylla? We're coming up to Chicago this weekend and would like to go to either one. The vegetarian choices seem to be really slim. Just curious if anyone has been and if so what they had or what their experience was like. Bonus points if you know what...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of anyplace in the Chicagoland area that has vegetarian shrimp. I have heard Asian stores often have this in the freezer section but my trips to a few stores in my area have not had fruitful results. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

:idea: I will be starting a new animal rights group up. There are already a few in Chicago so I'm looking to start up southwest of Chicago around the Naperville/Aurora area. If you are interested, please email me WantNoMeat@gmail.com as soon as possible. Please put something about activism in...

Anyone going to Veggie Fest this year? I'm actually available to go on Sat, but my plans aren't finalized yet.

I will be in Chicago from July 31st to August 2nd. I was wondering if there were any specific vegetarian restaurants that I should check out. This is my first trip to Chicago as a vegetarian and I know Chicago has a lot to offer as far as veggie food goes. :) Any suggestions would be...

I used to live in the suburbs, but now I'm living in the city with a friend of mine (who's also vegan). We're in Lakeview. So whenever the next Chicago meetup is, I'm totally in!

I can officially suggest Alice & Friends to anyone looking for Vegetarian food in the city. We went to the Cubs game yesterday and stopped at Alice & Friends on the way home. It was AMAZING!! It's a cozy little restaraunt with purple walls and a great little story written on a scroll which is...

I bought a 43cc mini chopper. It has a headlight, blinkers and brake lights. It only goes about 25-30 MPH but I live in town and I'm close to work. I'd like to LEGALLY be able to drive this to work but it didn't come with a title or anything. Is there any way to legally ride it on the road and get...

I just found out about this through MeetUp.com ( http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoVegetarians/calendar/10209878/ ). It's this Saturday and Sunday at Navy Pier. And all the information is here: http://www.greenfestivals.org/chicago/ Chicago Soydairy (Temptation, Teese, Dandies) and The Chicago...
