Review: New Vegan Chocolate Store Makes City Life Feel Good Again
My Facebook status update yesterday simply read “chocolate.” After feasting on the decadent chocolate godliness at Cocoa-V – the new vegan chocolate and wine bar located in the Chelsea area of Manhattan – I’m convinced that universal veganism is closer than we might think. That’s because it’s impossible to savor the rich, creamy (and fair-trade, organic) chocolate [...]

Undercover Investigation Asks: Is Your Vegan Meal Really Vegan?
30. June 2009
This is the kind of thing that can really make a vegan shudder. After hearing lots of seedy rumors about LA vegan restaurant hotspots, Quarrygirl bloggers and their tipsters decided to do their own covert investigation to see if some common non-vegan ingredients (eggs, casein and shellfish) were present in the restaurants they had taken [...]

Starbucks Caters To Gluten Allergy, Could Veganism Be Next?
5. May 2009
Starbucks is adding a gluten-free pastry to their U.S. stores’ shelves after the public spoke up loud and clear about wanting to be able to easily grab a bite cake while out and about. If the mega coffee giant can listen to celiacs, why not the vegans too? Vegans, listen up and take a note from [...]
How A Vegan In Her Late-20s Gets Crazy On Her Birthday
4. May 2009
If VEGdaily’s own Michael DuDell thinks that he is an old man for turning 26 this year, then I must be ancient because this weekend is my 27th! Like Mike, I am too old to drink and party the night away and am instead celebrating my birthday in a more animal- and health-friendly way. My birthday [...]

Get out those clappers and snappers — today we’re giving props to PlumpJack — a San Fran café chain owned by Mayor Gavin Newsom. Recently, our buds over at PETA got word that the Bay Area chain was pushing foie on their menu and contacted Newsom’s office to confirm. Good thing they did! Turns out Newsom’s sister is [...]

26. March 2009
While my co-partner on VEGdaily, Michael DuDell, may have years of experiencce in the vegan/vegetarian world, I’m relatively new to the scene; having only shed my meat-eating lifestyle some six months ago. It wasn’t anything I necessarily planned to do — it just evolved to make perfect sense. My upbringing never focused on food — [...]
The VEGdaily Review: Lula’s Sweet Apothecary Rocks Our Dairy-Free Dreams
23. March 2009
In my short little vegan life I’ve probably had a hundred gallons of dairy-free ice cream. So you can trust that when I sit down with bowl of the good stuff I’m not messing around. This past weekend I had the chance to get my snack on at Lula’s Sweet Apothecary here in lusty, dusty NYC. Ya’ll [...]
