"Brooklyn Goes Veg Week" Coming in October

You will be hearing a lot about this, as it looks like the email went out to a long list of Brooklyn blogs: There will be a "Brooklyn Goes Vegetarian Week" from October 21-27. (Those crafty vegetarians know how to get word out better than some big companies and their PR firms.) Here are the details:

Brooklyn Goes Veg is a month-long event celebrating Vegetarian Awareness Month. Launching October 2007, Brooklyn Goes Veg! will host a series of events centered around plant-based nutrition.

Vegetarians, near-vegetarians, and the curious are invited to tune-up their eating habits, change old paradigms, and discover new ways of thinking, eating, and becoming vegetarian.

We are excited to announce Brooklyn's First Annual Vegetarian Restaurant Week, highlighting the diversity of the borough's vegetarian restaurants.

The kickoff reception is on Thursday, Oct. 18, from 6PM-9PM at the V-Spot Café, 156 5TH Avenue in Park Slope. More info to come over the website for the event.
