This week’s Vegan Drinks NYC takes place on Thursday, February 25, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Angels & Kings bar! Our resident happy maker, DJ Lil Ray , will bring the music. A handful of lucky folks will leave with some new vegan reading material we’ll be giving away.

If you represent a veg*n or animal rights group, come prepared with your (very short!) spiel and literature. Check out our map of restaurants near Angels & Kings where you can grab a bite after the event. And if you haven’t already, link up with Vegan Drinks on Facebook and MySpace .

["Show me what Vegan Drinks looks like!" "This is what Vegan Drinks looks like!" (More photos by Matthew Mitchell and Jason Das available on Flickr .)] Thank you, New York City. On Thursday, January 28th, in a little over two hours, we sold $1,450 worth of sweet and savory treats at our Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti ! Not too shabby for a little bake sale in the corner of a bar on a frigid winter night. Sodopreca and Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) will receive their checks soon! Extra special, cherry-on-top thanks to those of you who baked! We had the most fantastic line-up of treats — Hostess-style cupcakes, personal pizzas, gourmet chocolates (thanks, Lauren at Sweet Compassion ), spinach pies, brownies and cookies of all sorts, doggy- and heart-shaped gingerbread cookies (courtesy of Patti at Baked Ideas ), more cupcakes (thanks to everyone who made cupcakes and Allison at Minor Treat ) and even bagels! This week’s Vegan Drinks marked our 21st event in NYC. (Vegan Drinks is now in 19 cities! Welcome, Nashville !) To celebrate, we gave away Sambazon , Alex Jamieson’s new book, Living Vegan…

We partied at Vegan Drinks like never before. This slideshow proves it! Excellent photography, Mr. Mitchell . Danielle Konya of Vegan Treats baked vegan cookies on NBC’s The 10! Show . Representative Dennis Kucinich, Democrat from Ohio and two-time presidential hopeful, told Reddit in an interview that he wants everyone to eat vegan brownies . (Hey, me too!) Scroll over to about minute 18 to watch him answer this question: “If you were made the absolute dictator of the U.S. for one day, what are some of the things you would do?” [ Comments (0) | Add Your Comment ]

The SuperVegan Round-up, December 16: Rambunctious octopus, Vegan Drinks, FS donations, Patterson on AR, Teany’s comeback, ice cream ON FIRE, and much more

ca65b616eaephant 150x138 The SuperVegan Round up, December 16: Rambunctious octopus, Vegan Drinks, FS donations, Patterson on AR, Teanys comeback, ice cream ON FIRE, and much more

[Someone poke this man with a knife.] Vegan Drinks is TOMORROW. Free stuff, and booze, and vegans, and what else could you want for a Thursday night? Teany’s coming back, y’all! The teahouse/maker of delicious baked goods and light meals just began rebuilding the space, more than six months after a fire put them out of business. Pleasepleaseplease, chicken salad melt, come back!! Feeling generous? Or, hey, feeling like a greedy, selfish scumbag? ‘Til the end of the year, your donations to Farm Sanctuary will be matched TIMES TWO by some secret and super generous donor for the rest of ‘09. Easy math: $1 for you = $3 for a cuddly lamb or frisky pig. So if you were planning to give nothing because you thought $20 wasn’t good enough (which it totally is!), now you’re giving $60, and that’s, what? Food for a family of four (goats) for a week or two, right? OK, guys, more easy math: Buy one of Isa’s cookbooks and she will donate ALL the proceeds to Out to Pasture Animal Sanctuary . Christmas shopping: done…

Vegan Drinks XIX: The Recap

a0be29fcdcgo 183 150x150 Vegan Drinks XIX: The Recap

The November 19th installment of Vegan Drinks featured a solid lineup. Fresh faces mixed with the very familiar ones. DJ Lil Ray kept the crowd in steady beats. Angels & Kings bartender Jesse replenished drinks effortlessly. And, David from Farm Sanctuary helped us all to adopt turkeys, pigs and cows just in time for the start of the winter holiday season. We owe a special thanks to our friends who donated Farm Sanctuary memberships and adoptions for us to give away to three lucky folks in the crowd. The people lined up to spread their messages during “Shout Outs.” David announced a plethora of upcoming Farm Sanctuary events. Joyce introduced us to Pets for Life NYC . Kneel revealed that Vegetable Slut has a new Web site and vegan-friendly designs for sale. Abby made an appeal for one of the dogs on Friday’s euthanasia list at Animal Care & Control and offered her assistance to anyone who could foster the dog. We plugged Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s and Terry Hope Romero’s new cookbook, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar , which will get the book release…
