Meat, Meet Your Match!
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
Meat-Free Week will be from February 7 to February 14 this year. In response to Meat Week, Meat Free Week was founded in 2010 to provide an alternative point of view, while also featuring a few of DC’s hearty and delicious vegetarian and vegan choices. This is the chance to challenge yourself, explore vegetarian and vegan dishes and try new restaurants in the area. You don’t have to attend every event; you can attend one or come to all seven! The amount you spend is up to you depending on what you decide to eat. Anyone can come to the events, just make sure to make reservations or get tickets to the appropriate events listed below.
