Hello Friends,
The ball is rolling for BKLYN Goes Veg! 2008.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve made some aesthetic changes – new site, new logo, new spelling.
I look forward to presenting a bigger and better Vegetarian Restaurant Week.

This year I’ll be featuring a Restaurant Week Guide. Stay tuned for details.
