Can you believe we’ve been doing Vegan Drinks for a full year now?! The event continues to be completely awesome here in New York City, and has now propagated to eleven twelve other cities (Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Central Iowa, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Twin Cities, Washington, DC, and just added: Northampton, MA).

Nothing pleases Vegan Drinks founder Deborah Diamant more than simultaneous consumption of cake and beer, so help us celebrate by bringing some delicious homemade (or, hell, I’ll take store-bought, too) goodies.

Do you want to help us celebrate the First Birthday of Vegan Drinks in NYC by baking a small batch of vegan awesomeness? You do? Really??!!!

If you’d like to bring something, please reply to info@vegandrinks.org and let us know what you’ll be baking. We thought it would be extra special if all of the rad vegan bakers brought a few things to make it an extra decadent happy hour. (Baked goods that don’t need to be consumed on a plate and/or with a fork are best! But if you need ‘em, let us know so we can plan ahead.)

Join us Thursday at Angels & Kings bar in the East Village. We’ll have the usual cheap beers ($3 domestic, $4 imports) and dollar off well drinks, as well as a crowd of wonderful people.

We’ll turn down the music at around 8pm 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.

Check out our map of restaurants near Angels & Kings where you can grab a bite after the event. And if you haven’t already, link up with Vegan Drinks on Facebook and MySpace.

Vegan Drinks is held from 7pm-9pm at Angels & Kings, 500 East 11th Street (btw Ave A & Ave B), New York, NY 10009.
