Bay Area Vegetarians' 3rd Sunday of the month dinner at New World 9/21/03

[Guest guest]

*A recurring third Sunday of the month event*

 

Sunday September 21, 2003 at 6PM.

 

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

 

Please RSVP by 6PM Friday September 19th in order to ensure reserving required

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 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.

 

New World's mock " meats " are made with vegan ingredients. They do have a

few non vegan desserts made outside the restaurant, as well as milk for coffee.

Soy milk can be requested for Thai Ice Tea or coffee drinks, and I am

encouraging them to make an effort to find great locally made vegan desserts or

prepare their own, as well.

Sharing dishes as a group encouraged and appreciated, but not mandatory.

 

Additional information below.

 

I await your RSVP's!
