In this group I want to bring the excitement back in eating vegetarian food and plan amazing social eve …

You're tired of Meetup groups that don't weed out people you won't fundamentally click with because of your morals and values.

Join us for delicious din …

Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …

There is no one type of Indian food as it includes Bengali, Goan, Rajasthani, South Indian,  Punjabi and more all loaded with exotic and intricate flavors.
