Kale My Name Dinner/Speed Friending, Observatory, and Karaoke Options!
Details
Whether you're seasoned or fresh on your veggie journey, this mixer is a fun way to get to know fellow veg folks.
Kale My Name (KMN) is an award-winning, spacious, all-vegan restaurant with great service; lovely ambiance; a relaxed vibe; and ample appetizer, dinner, and drink (NA too) options!
Whole foods (e.g., lentil soup, kale) and juice/mocktails are favorites for health nuts there. Omnivores liked the burger and dips.
Please have a profile pic of you when you RSVP, and keep your RSVP updated. Around 10 attendees are likely with 30 RSVPs (30% attendance average).
Arrive at 7:00 for the best mixer seats; we usually have our own table that is easy to find, as we're the biggest group. Optional informal speed friending (1.5-min intro from each attendee) will begin at 8.
Optional karaoke and/or planet/star-viewing trip prep will begin afterward. KMN closes at 10. Weather-permitting, there may be a free a astronomer-hosted event at a nearby observatory! Otherwise, veg-friendly karaoke starts at 10.
Unfortunately, many vegan restaurants have closed, so I (Anu) encourage folks to support them whenever possible..
Here's an Interview with Nemanja, owner of KMN, about the closings:[ https://vegnews.com/chicago-vegan-restaurants-closin](https://vegnews.com/chicago-vegan-restaurants-closing)
