As one might expect, DC has the best museums. And many of the best, the Smithsonian family of museums, are free! These are some shots from The Smithsonian American Art Museum. So much beautiful art… it can take up many afternoons of perusing. I liked her face… …and the quote. Read more…

Though Cove Haven did have a vegan option for their fancy dinner service, I thought it a bit pricey for not knowing what they would throw together. I also wanted to try some of the surrounding area’s vegan options. There were a surprising amount of them around and I hope Read more…

Having the vegan cred of eating at the original Veggie Castle back in the early 2000’s, I’ve always associated Flatbush, Brooklyn with my early pilgrimages for vegan food. Though, admittedly, this is a very superficial exposure to the neighborhood, it was within a time I was beginning to embrace my Read more…

I spent some time in Ontario, Canada on my trip to Buffalo because… it’s whole new country… well, a whole new Province in a whole new country! And the current USD to CAD exchange rate is a nice perk. With my reporting on 49 of the 50 United States, I Read more…

Ah, a day of rest. Having settled into West Palm Beach, all that was on the itinerary was some food and some rest. We stayed local, sampling some of her new neighborhood’s eats. A light lunch at Celis Produce: Here is the TATA: tempeh, avocado, tomato, arugula with sunflower seeds Read more…

Austin has a tremendous quantity of vegan food options. It’s actually a bit overwhelming! And I only had 3 meals. So breakfast first and the first of many food cart options. Biscuits and Groovy can veganize their entire menu. So, like the sign reminds you, don’t forget to say you Read more…

Meeting up with a friend for lunch in Manhattan, I set the meeting spot at Seaglass, the beautiful sea-inspired carousel in Battery City Park. Thankfully, it was empty. With it being so photogenic, I thought I’d have to creatively crop carousel riders out of my shots. It was a beautiful Read more…

First, a quick appetizer before my dinner date: Clementine Bakery in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. My last (and only) visit was when they had recently opened their doors. They’ve grown up well! Now: dinner. In the great expanse of New York City, sometimes an eatery can exist without showing up on your radar field. Read more…

We woke up with some goals. There were some cruise clarifications that were pretty important. Then there was breakfast, the sometimes-unattainable meal for a traveling vegan. And requisite basking in the breathtaking beauty of Alaska, the Last Frontier. For breakfast, a local favorite, Snow City Café, which has the honor Read more…

Follow Your Heart, a natural foods market and brand of dairy substitutes, has a cafe offering traditional vegetarian fare in Canoga Park. The natural food store has been around since the 70’s. The shelves are thoroughly stocked with a ton of great products but is welcoming and accessible. The cafe opens Read more…

CandyPenny and I finally got around to hitting Dirt Candy in Manhattan’s East Village. With tough weekends under our belt, we needed some delectable eats during our debrief. Unfortunately we didn’t realize that the ambiance of this tiny, loud, upscale restaurant off East 9th street would have us yelling across the Read more…

Julian’s in Providence, Rhode Island has fantastic vegan brunch options. Traveling to another state for veggie dining adds a bit more pressure to the ordering process. There you sit with a long list of delicious-sounding options–sweet ones, savory ones, personal favorites–but you must only have one. Luckily at Julian’s you can Read more…

For the past two years I have made yearbooks to celebrate the turning of time’s speedometer. Fiddling with Blurb‘s bookmaking software in December, I was forced to meditate on just how much I could fill in a week, a month, a year. In 2009, the me in January was lifetimes away Read more…

I’ve attempted to cook with hearts of palm before when I, convinced they’d mock the texture of mollusks often added to soup… added them to a soup recipe. That was a bomb-diggity. These buoyant cylinders don’t absorb much flavor. But when I saw this post from Peta’s recipe blog, which Read more…

Panino Sportivo is one of the few quick-eat options in the immediate vicinity of my school’s Morningside Heights campus. There lies a most satisfyingly scrumptious sandwich named Davide. Davide is simple and unadorned deliciousness: sliced hearts of palm, plum tomato and arugula served on fresh toasted Italian bread. Remember on Read more…
