What we’re about
Do you love trying new vegetarian & vegan restaurants? Do you enjoy the company of fellow vegetarians & vegans? Are you occasionally frustrated that your meat-eating friends "don't get it," and do you wish to dine with others that have the same enthusiasm for vegetarian and vegan food that you do?
Welcome to our group. What I am especially proud of is all the wonderful members we have. We seem to attract some of the very nicest, most thoughtful people in New York. Given the focus of our group, I am not surprised.
New York has many excellent vegetarian and vegan restaurants, and new ones are opening all the time. Join us as we explore them all, and enjoy dining with some of the kindest, most gracious, most socially-conscious people in New York.
Plus, join us as we go out on the town to vegetarian and vegan friendly bars and lounges. And partake when we go to visit some outstanding music venues. Great ways to have delightful nights on the town in the company of a fun and friendly group of vegetarians and vegans.
We warmly welcome all vegetarians and vegans as well as those that are considering a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Our meetup group was profiled in a news story on CNN's Headline News channel. Check out the video.

See all- Eating for Tomorrow: Film Screening & Talk-Back for Earth MonthCarriage House Annex, New York, NY
Please join us on Tuesday, April 29th from 6:30 to 9:30 pm, for this film screening and talk-back to celebrate Earth Month. This event is in collaboration with Plant Powered Metro New York (PPMNY) and the Green Feather Foundation. It is a pay-what-you-can event and the price range is from $0 to $25 with part of the proceeds benefitting PPMNY.
The food we eat has the power to shape the future of our planet. This Earth Month, join us for a special community screening of Eating for Tomorrow, the 2021 documentary narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet.
From the depths of the Amazon rainforest to the windswept Scottish coastlines, Eating for Tomorrow takes viewers on a breathtaking journey across the globe, exposing the environmental consequences of our food choices. Through powerful storytelling — from indigenous voices on the frontlines of climate change to world-renowned scientists and global thought leaders — this eye-opening film uncovers urgent truths while offering a message of hope and empowerment.
After the screening, stay for an engaging talk-back moderated by PPMNY’s Wendy Sax, featuring vegan activist Saurabh Dalal and Jan Dutkiewicz, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Pratt Institute. Together, we’ll explore practical steps to create a more sustainable food system — for ourselves, our communities, and future generations.
