More Eastern foods...detect a pattern here? You think Algebra, Kama Sutra, and Ninja's were invented by eating meat? Think again! I kid you not, the chef made the best vegan curry I've ever had at this restaurant and...wait for it...everyone at the table agreed it was BETTER than the meat version. WHAT!?! Yes, folks, it is possible that there is life beyond meat. I just invented a hash tag #LifeBeyondMeat. #PlantLife. #CantStop. #WontStop. #PleaseStop

Indian cuisine is a go-to for a Plant-Based Life. The flavors are amazing and it's easy to make safe choices without being 'high maintenance' or having to talk to the chef. Specifically Baba India makes awesome veggie samosas, and pakoras. Their veggie menu even has vegan and oil-free options too! Now you can do Sunday evening movie take-out just like all those meat eaters out there!

"Environmentally conscious, sustainable, organic, stylish". This place is local, baby-loving, insert-whatever-granola-adjective-here. It has tons of Plant Life options, Plant Cautious through Plant Maestros! Their fries are incredible, in case you're wondering, especially because they have an awesome apple ketchup. The banana mustard is top notch too, but found out (too late to not know how good it is) that it has mayo in it. #VegetarianForADay #Oops

Craft sushi plus a variety of Plant Guru options on the menu! (I would Karate chop a kitten for their mushroom skewer. Gently obviously). Most days they have an awesome "Happy Hour" menu from 5-7 that has vegan options half price! No gluten no problem! There are separate gluten-free menus for both lunch and dinner. Pro Tip: There's a sauce on one of the items that isn't vegan, but just get it on the side.
