One trip to Glasgow’s hip The 78 is just the beginning. Any visitor will quickly realize that not only does The 78 live up to its stellar reputation, but that 78 visits won’t be nearly enough. From the moment guests see the unassuming, pub-style threshold, to the end of their experience, the cozy atmosphere, incredible dishes, and friendly staff can turn any patron into a regular. If you’re interested in…
I love Bali! Before visiting, I’d seen many pictures and heard a lot of stories, but there’s nothing quite like experiencing Bali for yourself. Bali has so much to offer, it’s difficult to choose where to begin explaining my love for the island. Our first stop was Seminyak, an area known for its liveliness, great shopping, parties, and amazing vegan food finds! What also makes it so great is that…

Wednesday 26 August witnessed the 2015 Hong Kong Top 10 Vegan/Organic Restaurant Awards presented by Happycow.com. Part of Natural and Organic Products Asia 2015 at the cavernous Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition Centre, the ceremony was also supported by Meat Free Hong Kong. All the winning restaurants obviously had in common being geared to the vegan/organic food market. Also as a minimum, all are 100% vegetarian. Within that criteria though…
Thanks to HappyCow, it is always easy to find the best places anywhere to have a veggie meal. And there are several really nice places in Madrid you should definitely check out. But, how often do you get nice options that are also part of the local cuisine? Let me explain how, in Spain, you can do what the Spaniards do (well, at least in Madrid – note it is…
Have you started planning your next vacation to Greece, only to discover that there are surprisingly few vegan or vegetarian restaurants in the country? Has your search on HappyCow left you discouraged, wondering if you’ll be subsisting on Greek salad (hold the feta cheese, please)? Fear not! While it’s true that veganism per se is not widely known or understood in Greece, the local cuisine is actually incredibly vegan friendly.…
After submitting a recent post on the slowly but surely growing presence of herbivory in the mainstream, I coincidentally received a casting call notice that was looking for vegetarians. This call wasn’t for chefs though, nor actors looking to be the next star, this simply wanted vegetarians to come…EAT. Easy enough. I like to eat. I clicked and soon after got an email from one of the producers who wanted to…
Santa Cruz, California has been listed before as one of the best places to be veg or vegan. And as far as I can see, that hasn’t changed. If you plan on visiting the area, make sure you manage your time wisely. There are so many things to see, so many places to visit, and so many great places to eat…the problem will be fitting it all in! Here are…
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about one of my best friends who had passed (my vegan dog, Buddy). Now I want to introduce you to my vegan dog (Cassy) and her favorite vegan dog food recipe. We adopted Cassy from a sanctuary in 2004. She was almost three years old. Cassy is a mix of white shepherd and (we think) bull terrier. When we adopted her, one of her…
This hilariously cute video of a beagle conquering her quest for the food inside the toaster is not only a ton of fun to watch, but it’s a simple reminder that we can do anything we put our minds to! Enjoy and happy Friday 🙂 …
There were about 900 runners who came out to run on this cold, blustery 30 degree March morning here in Rhode Island. My husband and I came prepared with our hats, gloves and Underarmor gear, and waited in a heated tent for the race to start. When the gun went off we began our journey, running past the open ocean where we were greeted with a steady cold wind hitting us in the…
Walk into a grocery store and there in the produce section is an array of fruits and vegetables in every color of the rainbow. There are rows of green kales, spinach, herbs, beets, carrots, celery, and more that are automatically sprayed with water every few minutes to keep them fresh. There are displays full of apples, oranges, pears, bananas, avocados, and melons to name a few, all neatly piled and strategically placed.…
