Edita, can you leave some reviews for restaurants in Queens? We've got a bunch listed, but most of them don't show up in the rankings because they don't have any reviews. (And please let us know if we're missing any.)

Seriously though, Queens is way more veg-friendly than most people probably realize. I live in Queens and there are several 100% vegetarian restaurants within walking distance or a short bus/subway ride away from me, and some of them are pretty awesome. I have not been to Tierra Sana yet, but I'd be happy to post a real review once I do.

Some of the reviews may be fake, but I think some people are just so desperate for outer borough veganness that they are willing to see past a complete lack of seasoning. I will say that as for their attempt at building community? That's awesome.

But please make sure to leave your review on Tierra Sana's actual restaurant page so that people who search for the restaurant will see it and so that your ratings will count as part of its overall rating (used in our "Top Restaurants" listings).

[Read Note to Restaurants: Fake Reviews Make You Look Very Silly] ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:58:38 EST info@supervegan.com (SuperVegan Blog Comments) They have an odd menu where they offer more dishes during the day on weekdays than than do in the evening and weekends. That alone, makes no sense to me b/c I would think more people would be eating there on nights and weekends and would like more variety. My husband and I ordered some veggie sushi, eggplant stew and smoothies. I was not a fan of the veggie sushi b/c it had quinoa instead of rice and was wrapped loosely and fell apart. I love quinoa, but you had to hunt through the quinoa to see the fillings. I was not a fan of the smoothies b/c they had pieces of almond at the bottom, which was not pleasant to drink. BUT the eggplant stew was delicious. There web site makes it seem like they are trying to be a major veg-friendly presence in Forest Hills. I commend the effort, since Forest Hills itself is not very vegan friendly, but I am disappointed that the food wasn't better and that the menu offerings are limited the only times I'm home to eat them.

Maybe she can run on the 2012 ticket with Palin! Yikes!
Rock on Veggies! Vegan Peace, Shelly

Keep the pressure on and it will end, even though the progress may seem glacial, it will end.

In her interview, Carpenter says she performs slaughter rituals because "what we're doing is something that needs to be forgiven." I just don't understand why people choose to continue to do something that requires forgiveness--for many reasons--when there's a relatively simple, viable alternate option.

Let me put it this way... if all animals were currently being farmed in a somewhat 'compassionate' manner, would any of us push for them to be farmed much more inhumanely, so that we could more easily make the argument that they shouldn't be farmed at all? NO! Of course not.

I think that the woman in this article is not representative of most people. I think that most rational, moderate people would conclude that it's a whole lot easier (and rational) to just give up on the flesh eating thing & go across the street for a Boca burger or a vegan chicken patty, than to start farming & slaughtering animals in the backyard and creating rituals to deal with the guilt of knowing it is wrong to kill!

I think we should be focused on the majority of people who are going to be a little more balanced & moderate than this woman and are more likely to make steady, slow, consistent, and more lasting decisions that move either one direction or the other. Hopefully, measures like Prop 2, will get those people moving consistently in the RIGHT direction rather than vacillating all over the place like this woman or moving even farther in the WRONG direction, like we, as a society, have been doing the past several decades.

I think that for MOST people (not this woman obviously), but most rational people, accepting that farm animals matter, is probably going to be a first step toward accepting that maybe they matter enough not to be eaten! (psychologists say that MOST people make consistent decisions, so Prop 2 would be a first step toward a vegan conclusion, under that rationale).
