Hi Jamie-

NEW YORK! That's why. But I live on the island (long

island that is) so there isn't much there, but once

you start travelling west towards the city, there's

LOTS! There's even a guide to NYC veg restaurants so

you know there's lots. The one I went to is in

brooklyn where my sister lives and i went to visit

her...ok ok i went to get vegan food and visiting her

was secondary! lol...here's the website to the place I

went. It was my first experience with a vegan

restaurant, i had been to one vegetarian restaurant

called the candle cafe too but i didn't like the dish

i got. I'm a fast food freak so this was a delicious

treat. Check it out and look at the MENU!!! For those

who don't like meat alternatives, you might not like

this, but I enjoyed it very much. I know many vegans

don't even like faux meat because it's a reminder of

real meat and are sickened by meat altogether, but for

me the main thing is the principle. That I'm not

contributing to pain and suffering. Anyhow here's the

website to the place I went.

The soyburgers were ick. thats the only thing i didn't

like -of course my nonveg sister and bf got them and

had a bad experience, but everything else that we got

was great. ESPECIALLY THE DESSERTS!!!

I have thought about opening up my own restaurant or cafe or something of that nature that is why I am interested in what the vegetarian restaurants or 'fast food' stops are offering. I wish that I had that luxury here... well some day I will. If I don't make it happen for myself, I will move some where, where I can be accessible to all of those fun lifestyle pros.

Does anyone have good ideas for food to be served? I have looked into vegetarian cooking schools, but I have been unsuccessful on finding one totally vegetarian. One is mostly vegetarian in NYC, called the Natural School of Cookery. They do cook some seafood though,...but I don't know if I could do it,...and even if I could, I would have to at least try it, to see that what I was cooking was good. I dunno. There is something similar in Boulder, CO that looks interesting too, but it is not accredited. I will keep searching. If anyone knows of something that fits what I am looking for please let me know.

Thanks
