Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 New World Vegetarian Restaurant at 464-8th Street in downtown Oakland will be open for Thanksgiving and serving a special selection of dishes. Despite their reliance on animal/meat names for dishes, all their food is vegan. The entree specials range from $15.25 to $16.25, the two salads are $8.95. Two salads will be available-- Papaya Salad, with shredded green papaya, spaghetti squash, and orange chicken tossed with mint, basil, bean curd flakes and oil free vinaigrette dressing Tunotato Salad, with veggie tuna and potato salad, cucumber on a bed of alfalafa sprouts and spring mix. Special Entrees: All specials come with Asian squash soup and papaya salad. Turkey Delight--roasted veggie turkey served with traditional mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and peas with mushroom gravy and cranberry chutney sauce. Turkey Feast--poached veggie turkey ham served with traditional mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and peas with mushroom gravy and cranberry chutney sauce. Champagne Chicken--Seasoned veggie chicken sauteed with mushrooms, onion in champagne sauce served with seasoned brown rice, mashed potato and garlic chive acorn squash. Rosemary Chicken--crispy veggie chicken patties with rosemary caper sauce served with seasoned brown rice, mashed potatoes, and garlic chive acorn squash. While I have no financial relationship with this restaurant, I do think they are one of the best vegan restaurants in the Bay Area and invite you to go there for a meal on Thanksgiving or any other day/evening. Aside from an over-reliance on animals/meat products for the naming of dishes, which I find annoying, they consistently create delicious appetizers and entrees which borrow influences from many regions of the world. Bay Area Vegetarians will meet there again on the third Sunday of the month, December 21st, at 6PM. I hope to see you there.
