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!

Forget Snowmageddon, it’s DC Meat-Free Week!
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
In response to Meat Week, DC Vegan joined forces with Compassion Over Killing to plan the inaugural DC Meat-Free Week. Unfortunately, Old Man Winter doesn’t seem to want you to eat your veggies.
Snowmageddon interfered with the last two days of Meat Week and the first few days of DC Meat-Free Week. There’s a good chance it will interfere with the rest of the week’s events as well.

DC Meat-Free Week is scheduled from Sunday, February 7 to Saturday, February 13.
-Tuesday, Feb 9: Sticky Fingers Bakery in Washington, DC. A portion of the proceeds benefits Compassion Over Killing.
-Wednesday, Feb 10: Busboys & Poets (all locations)
-Thursday, Feb 11: The Source in Washington, DC (5:30-10:30PM) (Reservations Recommended)
-Friday, Feb 12: Restaurant Nora in Washington, DC (Reservations Recommended)
-Saturday, Feb 13: Great Sage in Clarksville, MD (Reservations Recommended)
A dinner with Farm Sanctuary President, Gene Baur will be rescheduled for February, 27 at Great Sage.
There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan restaurants around Northern Virginia if any of those options are too far. Or, if you’re unable to make any of the events but you do venture out to visit the grocery store, there are plenty of tasty vegan recipes to try while you’re stuck at home.
If you do lose power, try these tips from the American Red Cross to keep yourself and your food safe.

Just be sure to keep warm. You can even memorialize Snowmageddon by helping a great cause. When you purchase a t-shirt from One vs. Many, founded by local guys Alex Welsh and Grant Hill, 15% of each t-shirt sale will benefit So Others Might Eat (SOME), a non-profit organization that works to help the homeless, poor, elderly, and individuals with mental illness by providing meals, housing, job training, addiction treatment, and counseling services.
Too bad there isn’t a DC Meat-Free Week shirt. Of course, you could settle for one of these shirts.
