"Show me what Vegan Drinks looks like!" "This is what Vegan Drinks looks like!" (More photos by Matthew Mitchell and Jason Das available on Flickr.)
Thank you, New York City. On Thursday, January 28th, in a little over two hours, we sold
$1,450 worth of sweet and savory treats at our
Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti! Not too shabby for a little bake sale in the corner of a bar on a frigid winter night.
Sodopreca and
Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) will receive their checks soon!
Extra special, cherry-on-top thanks to those of you who baked! We had
the most fantastic line-up of treats -- Hostess-style cupcakes, personal pizzas, gourmet chocolates (thanks, Lauren at
Sweet Compassion), spinach pies, brownies and cookies of all sorts, doggy- and heart-shaped gingerbread cookies (courtesy of Patti at
Baked Ideas), more cupcakes (thanks to everyone who made cupcakes and Allison at
Minor Treat) and even bagels!
This week's
Vegan Drinks marked our 21st event in NYC. (Vegan Drinks is now in 19 cities! Welcome,
Nashville!) To celebrate, we gave away
Sambazon, Alex Jamieson's new book,
Living Vegan for Dummies, and a couple of sets of the "
Cookin' with My Crawdaddy" vegan cajun cookzines. (Thanks for the donations, everyone!)
DJ Lil Ray kept the standing-room-only crowd happy with the good tunes as everyone patiently waited for their chance to order a drink or devour an apple cider donut.
