Introduction

Hello. I became a Vegan 8 months ago - changed my life! I would dearly enjoy meeting other local Vegans and Vegetarians and your group sounds inspiring. Hope to meet all of you soon. Barbara

Do you rock as a vegetarian, vegan, veg-cuisine enthusiast or veg-hmmm?

I rock as a Vegan.

Can you tell us what rocks you (motivates you) to live consciously?

Since I made the decision to eat a plant-based diet, it has gone far beyond my initial concern which was inhumanity to animals - a very harsh education that came quickly. Then it moved on to health as I learned more and more about what a plant-based diet meant for me and now it has spilled over into every part of my life from the things I wear and buy and read about to the people I want to be connected to. I really want to have a community of fellow Vegans/Vegetarians to talk to and share thoughts and stories and recipes and fun and the joy of life with.

What are Hoboken and Jersey City restaurants or organizations doing that rocks? What could they do better?

I'm in Jersey City and there isn't much that I know of yet in terms of restaurants. I believe Marco and Pepe now has a few Vegan dishes on its menu. And Subia's is an organic food store that carries a lot of Vegan/Vegetarian food which is fantastic. I'd love to see a Vegan restaurant opening sometime soon. I'd love to see a Whole Foods store in downtown Jersey City. Or a Trader Joe.

What would you like to get out of V Rock! The Hoboken + Jersey City Vegetarian + Vegan Meetup?

I hope to meet people who have a similar mindset and just having a conversation with a group who believes in a lot of the same things would be a wonderful starting point to the stars..... who knows what can come of it.

What Barbara is saying about this Meetup Group

I love V Rock - can't wait for the tee shirts! Barbara

  • Hi Barbara,

    Welcome to the OC - NY/NJ! We're growing quickly with lots of friendly/interesting people that want to meet and share good times with others seeking healthy/safe food/lifestyles. We'll be lining up events to make organics fun and easy - so we hope to see you at OC meetups and get to know you personally! Meanwhile, don't hesitate to reach out or use the message board for anything OC related.

  • I liked Candle Cafe West too. I was there just one time, but I was really impressed with the service. I'll return Vegucated to you when I see you. We all enjoyed it, although "enjoy" isn't the right word for some parts. But they were important to see.

  • Hi Barbara,
    I saw that you will not be able to make our meetup on the 9th. We are trying to find a place in NY or perhaps we can do one in Jersey City if my NY people would go there. We need to find a place that is no charge to use the space or I guess we can all chip in for a room. Please let me know your thoughts...
    Thank you!

  • Hi Barbara,

    Welcome to the group! I am so happy that you have joined!
    My first group as of now is September 9th from 2-3:15 at the East Hanover Library in East Hanover NJ. I am going to see if I can get one sooner at a different location too. I will also keep you updated with upcoming teleseminars.

    I know there are trains or buses that come out this way or invite a friend (with a car) :) We can talk about this further!

    I am looking forward to talking with you!
