Vej Naturals coming to 195 Elm St!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

To update the prior discussion on the subject, according to their web site, Vej Naturals will be moving to the currently-Joey's-Thai (and formerly a number of other places) at 195 Elm St. No opening date is set yet, but we can hope it's soon!

You can also follow them on Facebook.

Once they are open, I will call for a meet-up or two to check out the new digs because I already know the people and food are awesome.

[So what should the difference be between the "dining" and "restaurants" tags here?]

I am not anti-vegan or anything I was just wondering about their broader appeal. But they seem to be successful and folks here have nothing but good things to say, so I am optimistic.

We need some diversity in the Davis restaurant scene. It's pretty bland now.

And yeah, I am kind of amazed by Blue Shirt.

I am not sure that you cannot perhaps get much of what they make elsewhere

I was just wondering about this statement, because it doesn't fit my experience with them, and more to the point, if you saw their menus (except the catering one, which is oddly boring) and are telling me that you can get all that elsewhere, I wanna know where! :)

Totally agreed about diversity and I like that VN is more different from what we've already got than any eatery that has opened in the neighborhood in some time. Also, the veg restaurant scene in Boston has generally sucked until quite recently, so it's nice to see that changing.

I did see their menu quite a while back but I admit that I used their catering menu to refresh my bad memory. So my comment was largely based on that, which I guess is not representative.

I am always amazed when I travel to the West coast how much more interesting and diverse the food is out there (except for the pizza). So I wonder, do we get what we deserve here (IE no market) or are restaurateurs simply misreading Boston's tastes? Geeze, even tiny little towns up in VT have places that have great bread (w&w/o gluten), vegetarian and vegan offerings. What gives? Hopefully this will change.
