Eating and Traveling Vegetarian

By PAOLA SINGER

March 11, 2008; Page D1

 

Problem: You have trouble finding good vegetarian dining options

while traveling.

 

Solution: The International Vegetarian Union, a nonprofit

organization that promotes vegetarianism, posts links to restaurant

guides, associations and related news, in the U.S. and abroad. The

group's site, ivu.org1, offers information divided by continent and

then by country. The site also includes a few recommendations for

hotels and bed and breakfasts that cater to vegetarians.

 

Happycow.net2 has a thorough and frequently updated guide to

vegetarian restaurants and health-food stores in major cities around

the world. For travel within the U.S., VegOut guidebooks, published

by Gibbs Smith, list and rate vegetarian restaurants in big cities

like San Francisco, New York and Chicago. Lonely Planet city guides

generally include vegetarian options in their restaurant sections.

 

Though not strictly for vegetarians, eatwellguide.org3 lists

restaurants, farms and stores offering local, sustainable and

organic food nationwide.

 

Travel agencies that cater to vegetarians, such as Green Earth

Travel (vegtravel.com4), help customers plan vacations that suit

their interests, including vegetarian-friendly cruises, culinary

trips and eco tours.
