New Yorkers Get a Glimpse of a Brighter Future at the NYC Vegetarian Food Festival

The highly anticipated NYC Vegetarian Food Festival was a smash hit, as thousands of vegans, vegetarians and veg-curious folks packed the house! Even more spectacular were the several hundred festival-goers, who were wrapped around the block for hours, just hoping to get a glimpse of the action. Clearly, the popularity of veg-food is exploding, as evidenced by the hoards of people wanting a taste of the future.

The inaugural event featured veg delights from local food vendors, such as V-Spot, Dun-Well Doughnuts and The Loving Hut, and presentations by some of NYC’s most notable speakers, including PCRM’s Neal Barnard, Our Hen House’s Jasmin Singer and Chloe Jo Davis of Girlie Girl Army. Several local and national animal protection organizations also hosted tables at the festival.
