We are trying something different. As the month goes on and free time permits, the monthly posts will go up at the first event we hear about and randomly updated as we get new info. Check back with us.
NYC-
Dun-Well Doughnuts Launch Party- Christopher and Dan are launching a wholesale operation to provide their doughnuts to retail operations and coffee shops. Their aim is to build a brand and enough interest to warrant opening their own shop. (Seattle, Portland and Las Vegas all have vegan doughnuts, but they are made in the same kitchens with their dairy laden cousins) New York is looking forward to this shop and the "blogosphere" and "twitter-verse" are all in a frenzy!
When- 2 February at 7-9 PM
Where- Moo Shoes at 78 Orchard Street
What- Doughnuts, drinks from Pine Box Rock Shop and ice cream from Lula's Sweet Apothecary.
*The website isn't up yet. So check their blog for now. They are looking for a web designer, if you have the skills, drop a line. *
John's of 12th Street- This is good news for those of us who have business meetings or stubborn family who refuse to go a meal without any animal products. I am uneasy about giving my money to a establishment that also serves loads of dairy, let alone meat (like veal). I want to give them support for taking a year to work on their recipes and training with a vegan chef to get things right. They even make their own seitan. So what are we to do? Encourage them to keep going in the vegan direction and vote with our dollars, even though they serve things I find awful? Each person will have to make their own choice about this.
December-ish Update
Sorry, I started writing this when I had some free time and never got to finish it before the little one started sounding the alarm for food or a nappy change. So, some of the events have passed, but since it was started, it must be finished.
NYC-
Blossom Du Jour (The site is not up yet, but they are using Facebook in the meantime)- Their opening was back in the last week of Oct, but we haven't been able to get out much untill recently. Located just one street down and across 9th Ave from the original location, Pamela Elizabeth cut Cocoa V in half and now two stores are two cute siblings joined at the hip. G says that the pot pie and onion rings require you to visit.-
NYC Vegan Pizza Tour (This has since past, sorry)- Scott, of Scott's Pizza Tour is doing a special vegan pizza safari for his brother Jon. Jon is visiting from LA and two years ago went vegan. Sounds interesting but I don't know what spots they plan on hitting. Might be worth a shot.
Online-
The Ethical Man- Dan Mims has launched his online store, complete with styling advice from Dan himself. There is a limited amount of items currently. As the items are not only selected, but inspected for value and quality, the available selection will grow.
Vegan Essentials- Chicago Soy Dairy now has mozzarella sticks! They partnered with Chicago Diner to perfect their recipe. Now you can get them from Vegan Essentials only, unless you live in Chicago.

Out of Contact
We have a new project we are working on and it's a vegan baby. Since our focus will be else where, we will not be able to update the blog regularly, for a few months. We will only be posting sporadic updates.
Please check out SuperVegan for happening in NYC and Quarrygirl for LA.
