The D.C.-Metro area is home to more than two dozen all-vegetarian restaurants as well as hundreds of restaurants offering veg-friendly menus. To celebrate the growing availability of delicious and innovative animal-friendly fare, Washingtonians voted for their favorites in VegDC.com’s second annual “Best Vegetarian Food” contest last month, and the winners are being honored with awards in October, which is Vegetarian Awareness Month.
