Vegan and raw food restaurants
I am sure we all agree that one of life’s greatest pleasures is the fun to be had in going out to eat and trying for ourselves the latest restaurants and dishes. This holds true for those of us who enjoy the delights of raw food and vegan restaurants too! There are currently, and you may be amazed by this, in excess of 5000 natural food restaurants to visit in the U.S. today. It will come as no surprise that the majority of these restaurants have sprung up in major markets and in our college towns. It may be that you personally are not living in an area where you can eat out at a vegan or raw foods restaurant regularly, but if you’re travelling, carry out some research and see where there may be a natural foods place to visit. Here are a few notable restaurants around the country:
Delights of the Garden has gained amazing popularity in Washington, DC, considering that city is a haven of power lunches between lobbyists and the like. It features a cool-looking cafe with raw and cooked vegan favorites.
Arnold’s Way is located outside Philadelphia, PA in the Bucks County town of Lansdale. They have a raw café and also have classes in raw foods preparation.
