Chicago Vegetarians & Vegans 20’s - 40’s

Enjoy the stars and planets at Northwestern's public viewing at Dearborn Observatory! Meet us there in the room with chairs and images where walk-ins can wait; the viewing is up the stairs. Note the event is weather-dependent, and a profile pic that clearly shows your face is a required to attend.

Friendly reminder that this Meetup started out as a singles group, and this luncheon is another chance to mingle with fellow vegetarians/vegans.

Alice & Friends' Vegan Kitchen has a diverse menu and a lot of flare. They do not take reservations, so be sure to arrive on time for the best seating.

You will have the opportunity for an optional, 1.5-min introduction.

Note this is the location in Chicago in Edgewater, and a profile pic that clearly shows your face is required to attend.

For folks into dresses, I (Anu) will hopefully be going to the Mata Traders popup afterward. They have fair trade and organic clothing, with plenty of sales.

Choose your own adventure, or let's see how many nonhuman animals we can spot in new pieces at the Art Institute! To attend, you're required to have a profile pic with your face visible.

Meet at your favorite lion of the 2 on Michigan Ave. Use the posted address; the map pin is inaccurate. We'll check both lions before going inside.

Note: We may be able to get some free tickets, then starting "on time" could mean 15-30 min late.

I use the private (RSVP/sign in) chat for updates whenever tech/time allows me. Thanks for your patience; I am a volunteer. :)

Members have expressed interest in karaoke in other events, so I (Anu) am checking to see if anyone would like to attend at veg-friendly Cafe Mustache (CM). A profile pic that shows your face is required to RSVP.

Meet at the bar at 8 to be among the first to get in the karaoke queue. I shall do my best to arrive then, though the time may be adjusted due to other events, so please check the chat (while signed in) for updates beforehand.

CM is known for "Chicago's best vegan chili" (New City). The kitchen closes at 4 p.m. and cafe closes at 6 p.m.; the bar (with snack menu) opens at 6 p.m.

Whether you're a seasoned musician or mid+ like I am, bartenders/singers Murph and Amir make you feel welcome. There are several talented musicians who perform regularly, if you prefer to watch and not perform.

I recommend ear protection (like Loop earplugs). Things can get rowdy, so I sit in the cafe section or patio for breaks.
