V-Spot Brooklyn, NY

November 11, 2009 in Meet-Ups, People, Restaurants, Travel | 4 comments

Well, my goal for MoFo this year was to post more than usual, and definitely more than last year, which I accomplished. I also hoped it would be a nice jump start to get me blogging more regularly. I may not post every week, at least until we move, but I will try to post a couple of times of month. There are a lot of blogs out there, I’m happy if one or two people come across mine now and then and find something they like.

Anyway, on to the food! Before Bazu and I left on our trip to Central Europe, we met up with our friend Michelle, who was kind enough to pick me up in the middle of Manhattan, and drive us to JFK. We had plenty of time to grab food, so we decided on V-Spot, in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. I’d never been, and it’s always nice when I can order anything on the menu without modification!

I had a chicken burger with cheese and tempeh bacon, and a nice little salad on the side. The sandwich was nice and crispy without being greasy, but it was still nice to have a little salad on the side to cleanse my palate and make me feel somewhat virtuous. If I’m remembering correctly, we also shared a side of sweet potato fries, which, in my opinion, you can never go wrong with ordering!

Bazu had plantain chips with guacamole which she really enjoyed,

I really enjoyed eating at V-Spot, and I’d like to try out other things on the menu the next time I’m in Brooklyn. Check it out if you’re nearby!

DC PPK Meet-up: Vegan MoFo Edition

The good thing about committing to a month of writing (even though I missed a couple of days, there) is that I force myself to post pictures and write about things that usually get neglected. I tend to take pictures at parties and restaurant meetings and plan to post them or share them, I really do. Then, a week or two goes by, and it just becomes embarrassing at that point to bother. So they go into my permanent collection, never to be seen by anyone except for me.

I’m hoping that starting this food blog will encourage me to post those photos more often. Even though I love to cook, the DC area is full of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants. Vegetate has amazing sliders and Happy Hour specials, Great Sage has a wonderful brunch and delicious desserts, and there are a number of other restaurants where it is easy for a vegan to find a great meal.

Last night, I went to Soul Vegetarian Cafe with friends Meghan, Karyn, Carolyn, and Laura. With the exception of honey in some of the desserts, the cafe is all vegan. Food is mostly served up cafeteria style, with several entrèes, carbs, and vegetables. They are famous for their mac and cheeze, though. Until last night, it had been several years since I’d been to Soul Veg, but I still remembered their creamy, tasty macaroni casserole.

After Soul Veg, we enjoyed Sticky Fingers for dessert. I was able to pick some goodies up earlier on my way to our meet-up. I may also have accidentally consumed a large quantity of homemade candy corn that Meghan and Carolyn made. Oops. No wonder I wasn’t hungry for most of today.
