**Update 9/15/03---they now are making vegan desserts and are eliminating dairy

from

 

their dessert offerings.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!Bob***New World
