Past list view

this is a reminder that i have this group at veggie heaven every wednesday. if you intend to come, call first. only one person has come so fare, three times in a row. if no one calls ahead of time, i myself do not go to veggie heaven that Wednesday. in other words, no one calls, i'm not there waiting. originally i would go just in case someone decided to go at the last minute, but i gave up on that.

About Veggie Heaven;

Veggie Heaven is a vegan restaurant, but has very good dishes and mock meat. Their regular vegetable dishes are just like any vegetable dish in a Chinese restaurant, so there should be plenty to please non vegans. a vegan is a vegetarian that does not eat dairy or eggs. Non vegan / vegetarians are welcome. I also run a vegan/vegetarian social Meetup that meets at this establishment that welcomes meat eating 'vegetarian curious' individuals who often chuckle at how much the food appeals to them, it is often felt to be much better than these individuals expect.

The restaurant is large, there is plenty of room, we can get a table off to the side away from the crowd and have sufficient privacy. They have a banquet section often not in use, if not in use on nights we are there, there is a possibility we can take a table in that space and have total privacy. And the bathrooms are spotless.

Items on the menu range from $3 to $6 appetizers, $6 veggie burgers or sandwiches to $13 main courses, and $4 vegan dessert cakes and smoothies. Very reasonably priced. And if one is not hungry they can sip water. A small complimentary cabbage salad is given to all upon being seated. So one can have a little bite to eat and not feel so out of place being the only one not ordering a meal.

The billing will be separate so all have control of what they spend.

Pardon the specifics on the restaurant, I would hope those attending would have a better idea of what the place is like in hopes of them having a higher comfort level when dealing with the anticipation and anxiety related to preparing to go out and be social. Directions to Veggie Heaven. It is in Teaneck on the main street, which is called Ceder Lane. It is on the same side of the street as the theater in the center of town, one block to the east, at a traffic light / T bone intersection. Many buses stop right in front of the establishment, 175, 753, 168, 755, and 780.

i just listed us with the National Obsessive Compulsive Foundation. I pegged a weeknight, Wednesday, for our Meet-ups in order to get the information out there that under no undefinite terms there will be a regular weekly support group meeting. It makes things more concrete and streamlined and the OCF and any other organization is more likely to accept a group listing that is definate.
I have committed myself to being at Veggie Heaven every Wednesday eve from 7:00 pm on.
Whether anyone shows up or not....
Hopefully we will soon be getting some new members.

so here it is.

Greg,

I just created your listing in our database, so you are all set!

Best,

Rebecca
