Vegan Brunch at One Love and Greasy Seminar and Buffet at Grasshopper

Today there are two neat vegan food events going on in our part of world. Aren’t we lucky? In Boston today from 4pm to 5pm there’s a seminar on vegetable oil powered cars followed by an all-you-can-eat vegan Chinese buffet at 5pm. This’ll take place at the Grasshopper restaurant located at 1 North Beacon Street in Allston, MA (map)

But if you don’t want to leave Worcester today, instead you can swing by the One Love Cafe from 11:30am to 3:30pm for a vegan brunch and live music. One Love is a cute little Jamacain place that sits right next door to the Artichoke Food Cooperative at 800 Main Street (map). It’s a vegetarian joint, but it has a good amount of veg options. See the facebook event for more info about the brunch.

Rumor has it that the One Love Cafe now also has vegan cakes and pastries from Worcester’s suavest vegan baking company, Barely Legal Treats.

Super 88 Asian Market a No-Go

Super 88 Logo

The Telegram & Gazette is reporting that the Super 88 that was planned for downtown Worcester is “no-go” on Go/No-Go test.

That’s too bad! The Super 88s in Boston are neat Asian markets with tons of mock meats and weird veg things. You can even get vegetarian duck in a can:

But lucky for you, there are already some quality Asian markets in Worcester. If weird mock-meats are your idea of a good time, check out Mekong Market at 747 Main Street in Worcester (map), where you can pick up a bag of frozen veg. shrimp complete with nice little soy-based eyes that look up at you.
