>hey there. i just wanted to tell you all that I am in

NYC right now

 

Whatever else you are doing in NYC, you MUST go to the Veg City Diner. You

were only a block away when you were at Union Square. I'm from NYC (I only

moved to CA a year ago) and the Veg City Diner is a vegetarian and vegan

diner, which is just like a real diner - even a revolving vegan cake

display - and amazing! It's open 24 HOURS a day!!! It's on 14th street

between 5th and 6th Avenues but right off 6th ave. Anyone visiting NY must

make at least one trip to this amzing restaurant!

> am i only the only person on this list who thinks that supporting

mcdonalds is a bad idea?

 

I never eat at McDonald's. But the fact that they are trying to target

those interesting in eating something healthier than a burger, and making

fun of themselves at the same time is a really great step, ossibly towards

going out of business! Two stores going out of business in SF is another

sign. I agree with you that I'd do anything not to eat any any chain places

along my many cross country drives between CA and NY. I always plan ahead

and bring a cooler for cities where there is not a place to eat or buy

groceries. However, I know that a couple I am friends with, who are vegan,

don't do that. They'd rather go to Taco Bell or Subway or Olive Garden than

go through the minor hassles of planning. I think that is a horrible idea

myself, and feel that my husband and I eat much better food on our trips but

people are different. That's the way they like to do it and they are

comfortable with it. So in that light, I think it's great that these chains

are trying to make a broader selection of food.

 

Great eating everyone!
