    by
    Filed under: Booze Events Food Music New York City SuperVegan Vegan Drinks

    Join us THIS Thursday, August 30, from 7:00pm to 10:00pm for Vegan Drinks NYC! We’ll occupy the Chandelier Room at Fontana’s Bar, located at 105 Eldridge Street on the Lower East Side. Clementine Bakery will be there to feed you silly and represent for Brooklyn! (Scroll down for Clementine’s special Vegan Drinks menu!)

    Grand Format returns to play great music for us. Plus: Special guest DJ set by Arthur Smilios (Gorilla Biscuits, CIV, companion of Lysaght, the most photographed cat on the internet!) and Jay Johnson (Punk Rock Karaoke Chicago, straight A student!, companion of Liam, definitely not the most photographed pup!).

    This month, any money you throw in the donation jar will benefit the wonderful (and easy to visit!) Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary (WFAS). Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains in the town made famous for peace and music, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary provides shelter to cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, sheep, and goats who have been rescued from cases of abuse, neglect and abandonment. WFAS is a place where visitors can come face to face with the animals who most only know as dinner and learn about the devastating effects of modern-day agribusiness on the animals, the environment and human health. At WFAS you can frolic with goats in a large open pasture, sit down with a pig who wants nothing more than a belly rub, cuddle with chickens who seek out your attention or get nuzzled by some very friendly sheep!

    WFAS will have a slammin’ raffle for all your raffle-winning needs (all money raised goes to WFAS, of course!). Enter to win the following:

  2. A night’s stay at WFAS’ new bed & breakfast!
  3. Vaute Couture shirt!
  4. Yoga class or photo session with Derek Goodwin!
  5. Acrylic baby hat knitted by Rachel Kay’s mom!
  6. Professional make-up session with Rachel Kay herself!
  7. Wrist band and wallet from The Ethical Man!
  8. Shoes from Olsenhaus!
  9. $100 gift certificate to Gristle Tattoo!
  10. V-Spot gift certificate!
  11. Samantha Jovani Handbags!
  12. An astrology reading!
  13. Vegan O’Brien Baking Company cookies!

    14. Show up hungry to enjoy Clementine Bakery’s menu (all vegan, of course):

  14. Queso and chips
  15. BBQ “Ports Bello” slider
  16. Teriyaki wings with peanut sauce
  17. Tempeh reuben finger sammie
  18. French bread supreme pizza
  19. Spicy mac and cheese
  20. Corn on a cob, with lime, parm and paprika

    21. Have you read the new and improved Vegan Drinks FAQ? Please read it, even if you’re a regular at our event. (Really, please read it. All of it.)

    We’ll turn down the music around 8:30pm and encourage people to promote themselves, their groups and/or causes for 30 seconds. If you represent a veg*n or animal rights group, come prepared with your (very short!) spiel and literature.

    If you’re not already following our every move, connect with Vegan Drinks on Facebook, follow us on Twitter (@vegandrinks), and join our e-mail list.

    Vegan Drinks NYC is usually held the last Thursday of the month from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Do you represent an animal rights group you think should be the beneficiary of an upcoming Vegan Drinks NYC? Visit vegandrinks.org/beneficiaries to learn more about how to make that happen.

  21. Bunna Café bringing new life to vegan-friendly Ethiopian food, popping up all over North Brooklyn

    by
    Filed under: Booze Brooklyn Events Food New York City Restaurants

    Ethiopian food is awesome, and it’s one of the more inherently vegan-friendly traditional cuisines out there. But it’s very rare to find a place specifically focussed on the v*gan side of Ethiopian food. Bunna Café does that and much more, with their pop-up events showcasing music, dancing, coffee ceremonies, and booze, as well as good eats. They’ve mostly focussed on North Brooklyn to date, but events elsewhere are certainly a possibility.

    Upcoming Bunna Café events include dinners at Tradesman (222 Bushwick Ave, off the Montrose L) on August 26 (this weekend!!), at Alaska Bar (35 Ingraham St, off the Morgan L) on September 2, and at The West (379 Union Ave, off the Lorimer L) on September 8.

    The only non-vegan thing they serve is the honey-based Tej wine. But they will be more than happy to hook us up with alternate drinks.

    I asked Bunna Café’s Sam Saverance a bunch of questions, and he was good enough to answer them:

    SuperVegan: Who’s behind Bunna Café and how did you get started? How long has Bunna Café been going? How long have you been cooking Ethiopian food and/or cooking professionally? Are you Ethiopian yourself?

    Sam Saverance: 
Bunna Café is a three-person team composed of myself, a Texan, and two Ethiopians—Chuny Ali and a third partner who must remain nameless for now because he still has a competing restaurant day job. I am by profession a graphic designer and marketing/branding specialist. For the past four years I have diverged more from production work to branding and promoting African-based companies in order for them to be more successful in the global marketplace.

    I spent some time in Ethiopia back in 2008 and immediately fell in love with the cuisine, visuals, and culture, especially in the way that food is considered an integral part of everyday life. My “nameless” partner hails from the Lalibela region, has spent many years managing restaurants and as a tour guide, and studies architecture at school here in NYC. He is extremely knowledgeable and effective in managing an event, and also has excellent taste in creating a memorable experience. We both met randomly a year ago and after chatting soon discovered that we had the same vision of creating a tasteful venue that reflected Ethiopia in a positive, effective way. Chuny joined us earlier this year. She is our master chef – the food she cooks is mind-blowingly tasty. Even the Ethiopians are mesmerized by the flavors she creates. She manages the kitchen and is incredibly efficient at it.

    All in all the three of us complement each other to a tee. I work on branding, promoting, and event planning, nameless dude works on the managing of events and service, and Chuny manages the kitchen.

  23. Vegan Drinks LI: Hang Out with Veg*ns While Supporting Vegan Outreach on Thursday, July 26 at Fontana’s Bar!

    by
    Filed under: Booze Events Food New York City SuperVegan Vegan Drinks

    Join us THIS Thursday, July 26, from 7:00pm to 10:00pm for Vegan Drinks NYC! Find us in the very large Chandelier Room at Fontana’s Bar, located at 105 Eldridge Street on the Lower East Side. Lovebug Kitchen will be there to feed your face!

    This month, any money you throw in the donation jar will benefit Vegan Outreach, a nonprofit organization working to expose and end cruelty to animals through the widespread distribution of their illustrated booklets: Why Vegan?, Even If You Like Meat, and Compassionate Choices, along with their follow-up Guide to Cruelty-Free Eating. As a Vegan Outreach activist, anyone, anywhere, in any situation can be the best possible spokesperson for the animals. Their booklets have gone to a diversity of interested individuals, many of whom had no idea about the consequences of their consumption habits, and who possibly would never have otherwise received such compelling information.

    Bring your dollars for the raffle (all money to Vegan Outreach, of course)! Prizes this month include: shirts and books (courtesy of Vegan Outreach) and a bottle of Sacha Inchi oil (courtesy of Sacha Vida).

    The lovely DJ Grand Format will be back to tickle your auditory channels.

    Have you read the new and improved Vegan Drinks FAQ? Please read it, even if you’re a regular at our event. (Really, please read it. All of it.)

    We’ll turn down the music around 8:30pm and encourage people to promote themselves, their groups and/or causes for 30 seconds. If you represent a veg*n or animal rights group, come prepared with your (very short!) spiel and literature.

    Thank YOU for supporting GooseWatch NYC at Vegan Drinks NYC on June 28th. It was the 50th Vegan Drinks in NYC! (We are the oldest and the baddest, of course, but be sure to check out the other Vegan Drinks cities!). There were A LOT of you there. (Psst, there’s extra seating in the balcony!) Huge thumbs up to the excellent staff at Fontana’s Bar for expertly hosting us once again and to Heirloom Vegan Eatery for keeping us well fed! (We now worship at the alter of their Cap’n Crunch Fried “Chicken” Sandwich.)

    And, extra special thanks to those organizations and individuals who made Shout Outs*:
