On Monday, word of Meat Week reached a few of DC’s vegetarians and vegans. Given the proven links between meat and high cholesterol, heart attacks, cancer and even…ahem, poor sexual performance, we became very concerned for the health of our beloved District.

We decided the only solution was to immediately offer Washingtonians the chance to experience amazing greens from some of DC’s most exciting restaurants during a Meat-Free Week.
The schedule is an impressive one! The restaurants participating in DC’s inaugural Meat-Free Week include RAMMY Award Winners, America’s first certified organic restaurant, the 2009 OpenTable.com Diner’s Choice Winner, and Washington City Paper’s 2009 Best Bakery and Best Vegan Restaurant. One restaurant boasts 32 secret doors. The First Lady has dined at two of the restaurants on the list, and the President even joined her at one.
Two of the restaurants are debuting new vegan menus, and one is offering discounted rates off their regular prices. Gene Baur, Farm Sanctuary President and Co-founder, will be attending dinner one night. And two of the events are fundraisers, including one with all profits donated to Haitian relief.

Come see the results of one year of R&D with a mission to create a winter coat that is at once vegan, chic, and actually warm. The Chicago vegan fashion house brings their limited edition coats with high style, warmth, and ethics to D.C. for only one day!
Buy One Get One Sample Sale (so bring a friend and share the savings!) Otherwise enjoy the winter special of 30% off the regular price (and 50% off for early supporters, because we wouldn’t be here without you!) Chic vegan tees for men and women will also be in the house too!
Stop by to see and feel the coats out in person or just share the love for vegan start-ups!
The next DC Vegan Drinks has been scheduled for Thursday January 21st at 7pm at Bread and Brew.

Its been 1 year of DC Vegan Drinks! For the most part I think it has been very successful, since people still keep coming. We started off at the Science Club, than people wanted to go to different places. So we started to try to book a different place each month, but that got difficult to coordinate with the Bars/Restaurants. We had a few DC Vegan Drinks at Bread and Brew by middle of the year and then we decided to make Bread and Brew the official DC Vegan Drinks spot. They were great hosts and everyone enjoyed the place, and the staff is wonderful too! Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the Chef, Chef Eugene, who can defiantly make some great Vegan dishes. We also did a few benefits this year which were very successful and we plan on continuing them in 2010. Also for 2010 we plan to start having live music at as many events as we can, we hope to have veg bands if possible, so if you know of any or you are in any let us know. And if you have any thoughts or comments for future events please let me know. That being said I hope to see you at tonight’s event, and bring a few friends!
