The New York City Vegetarian & Vegan Meetup

I may be somewhat partial, however, there’s no place like New York City during the holiday season. During this annual festive period, the streets and shops are buzzing, the ice skating rinks are filled with figure eights, arabesques and camel spins, while onlookers cozy together sipping on hot chocolate or mulled hot apple cider.

At Bryant Park you may witness such events and perhaps even partake in them. The park is set up like a fairytale winter wonderland, with a sparkling tree, a delightful skating rink, beautiful holiday decorations everywhere, and holiday, artist and food vendors in charming kiosks throughout the park -- these do beautifully add to the holiday spirit of the place, you will see (while you are sipping on your hot apple cider with cinnamon stick).

We will tour beautiful Bryant Park, order dinner from the few vegan food vendors, sit by the ice skating rink, and take in the delightful atmosphere.

Where To Meet: We will meet at 6:45pm right on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Ave (the Bryant Park corner of this street intersection). I (David Greene) am 6' 4" will be holding a sign that says "VEG MEETUP". We'll be waiting on the corner till just 7:00pm, so don't be late! At 7:00pm we will enter the park.

This first holiday meetup of the year in Bryant Park will not be frigidly cold. I love going to Bryant Park throughout November and December, but it's great to catch it near the beginning of its season, not having to be severely bundled up. Come check out this year's vendors -- both food and merchandise. And sit by the skating rink with us. It's so beautiful, you are sure to be back.

With all the wonderful vegetarians and vegans who attend each of our events, every event we do is liked by our members, but our "Veg Night Out!" events are the most popular of all. People enjoy the fact they can mingle (speak with lots of different people), and they love the beautiful venues that we go to. Join us for a stellar evening of lively conversation and lovely surroundings with fellow vegetarians and vegans.

For our new members: this is an incredibly friendly and welcoming group. We'll be hanging out by the main bar area, and you can get to know all our wonderful members.

This event has no cover and no minimum. But please buy a drink or two, or as many as you like. The venue requests that you dress appropriately: business, business casual or smart casual.

Join us for a fun and relaxed summer evening socializing with fellow vegetarians and vegans.
