Night Moves: Vegan Drinks Philly @ Horizons

A veg!

Outside of PETA protests and Trader Joe's, it's probably pretty hard to meet a fellow vegan. (I wouldn't know — I was a vegetarian in a past life, but I never could give up cheese.) That's what prompted New Yorkers to form Vegan Drinks, a nationwide meet-up of all sorts of veggies, including the veg-curious, animal rights lawyers and run-of-the-mill vegans (if there is such a thing).

Tonight's event is the second Vegan Drinks to be held in Philly. The first one, held last month, was such a success that Horizons decided to open up the entire restaurant to accommodate all the animal lovers under one roof. Philadelphia Brewing Co.'s veg beer, Walt Wit, will be on tap, along with drinks from Chaddsford Winery and Philadelphia Distilling. And the food is far better than a Morningstar burger, if you happen to be doubting the scope of vegan eats — it includes roasted exotic mushrooms with truffle oil, fried pickles with jalapeno beer batter, edamame hummus, Vietnamese bruschetta and buffalo seitan tortilla pizza. The raffle, from which you can win a $50 Whole Foods gift bag, a reiki session and a signed copy of This Crazy Vegan Life, allows you to put your money where your mouth is — proceeds go to Humane League of Philadelphia and Chenoa Farm Animal Sanctuary.


Mon., March 23, 5:30-9:30 p.m., free, Horizons, 611 S. Seventh St., 216-923-6117, vegandrinksphilly.blogspot.com
