Hartford, CT

21 Oak- I have driven many times from NYC>Boston and back and I am so glad to have found this small vegan cafe, off the highway just outside of Hartford CT (technically in Manchester CT). I was on the run and got the hummus wrap and a salad. Both were good and reasonably priced. There menu has a bunch of really good options and I look forward like to getting back there to check out a few more dishes. 

So cool to find plant based restaurants in places you'd might not expect! There seemed to be a really nice community vibe happening in there, which is just what I hope for a spot like that. 21 Oak, keep doing what you do!

Bloodroot Restaurant

Bloodroot- Very happy to be back in Bridgeport, CT for a few shows because we get to go back to the amazing Bloodroot restaurant. I've posted about them before and they are certainly worthy of a second post. This vegetarian restaurant has been open for nearly 40 years! Nole and Selma- the owners, are passionate about making this a special place and it shows. They are pioneers of the health movement.

The setting is almost like in someones house and they treat you like a guest. I love the relaxing feel and ambiance. I couldn't help but get the vegan tostadas again (pictured), which are fantastic. We also had a few of there tasty vegan soups.

The food is dynamite and when headed to Bloodroot, you can look forward to some great conversations with Nole and Selma. So happy to stop in again!!
