Restaurant Reviews
It’s sometimes hard to find good vegetarian and vegan meals while on the road. As I travel the globe, I often find interesting vegetarian, vegan and vegetarian-friendly options and provide reviews for my Veggin’ readers.

I just came across your website based on the yahoo posting of the chickpea spinach stew today.
Great stuff!
Do you have any restuarant suggestions for NYC?
Thanks in advance and keep up the fine work!
1Hey, thanks for finding me. Since starting this site, I have yet to have a chance to review a vegetarian restaurant in NYC. However, a few years ago I went to Red Bamboo and really liked it. Unfortunately, it looks like their site is undergoing a redesign: http://www.redbamboo-nyc.com/
In the meantime, perhaps this review will help: http://newyork.decider.com/restaurants/red-bamboo,44673/
If you come across any restaurants that look good, let me know!
2I think I should also say that many of the resoans that I originally went vegetarian the idealistic resoans, understanding the links between oppression of animals and women and people of color, for example helped make the step towards being vegan easier. I already had a lot of the intellectual information, but somewhere I read that until we stop oppressing *everyone,* no one is free. It finally hit me more emotionally, though I don’t know why it hadn’t before. Whoever was writing thankfully meant non-human animals in their definition of everyone, and I realized that while I’d been doing activism on behalf of humans for years, it made the most sense to rethink who needed me the most. As I resonate deeply with non-human animals and have always had profound relationships with them, it was shameful when I realized my choices were continuing to hurt many of them despite my claim to love and respect them. Part of my resistance to going vegan no doubt came from living in a culture that shuns and shames veg*nism, and I’m still struggling against other people’s disrespect for my decision, but owning my choice now more than ever feels authentic in a way I never felt before. It also makes me have much more fulfilling relationships with all beings as I’ve come to respect us all more, human and non-human alike.
