Reminder of New World Vegetarian dinner on Sunday 8/17 at 6PM

[Guest guest]

Sunday August 17, 2003 at 6PM.

 

New World Vegetarian Restaurant, 464-8th Street, Downtown Oakland.

 

Please RSVP by 6PM Friday August 15th in order to ensure setting aside of

appropriate number of tables.

 

Invitation to those who have enjoyed Bode, (early 90's) and then New World

Vegetarian Restaurant in the past, as well as those who would like to try it for

the first time. New World recently re-opened after extensive kitchen and

interior remodeling, with lovely dark cherrywood-appearing tables and refinished

floors, and a kitchen at least twice as large as before.

 

I spoke recently to staff about ingredients in their mock " meats " and after

their assurance and showing me ingredient labels I'm confident that they are

using only those with vegan ingredients. They do have a few non vegan desserts

made outside the restaurant and will encourage them to make the same efforts to

find great locally made vegan desserts instead.

 

Additional information below.

 

I await your RSVP's!
