Food Swings in Brooklyn →
Had dinner here after catching a film screening last night. Definitely a winner. And good thing, since my favorite place, Curly’s Lunch, has been sold and renamed (though for the record, the original owners of Curly’s still own Hotel Tortuga down the street!).

If it’s your first time hearing of Vegan Hacker, let me give you the low-down. You hack recipes in…
This is pretty cool.

vegansaurus:
As you may have heard, New York City is getting mighty close to having its very own vegan convenience store. The brainchild of Eric Hopf, the aptly named Vegan Bodega is currently in its early stages of development, with an IndieGoGo page up for community fundraising and awareness….

Is it time we all gave up meat? →
headphonesnotrequired:
The two most pressing reasons for cutting back on meat today are climate change and global population growth.
