I'll be in LA this weekend.

Hey hey lovely Vegan LA folks. I know it's been awhile since I've posted in here, but I will be in LA this weekend, so if anyone wants to meet up for a meal, let me know I'm arriving tomorrow (4/23) night and will be there through Sunday afternoon (4/26).

make sure to let us know your vegan favs from your trip!

Okay - so I think these are my options for dinner tomorrow night based on where we are staying... I am not including places I have already been such as Luck or Flore on this list because I have already been to those places. (Liked Pure Luck, hated Flore).

Based off of this list what would you recommend?

- A Taste of Life
- La Thai Vegan
- Shojin
- Vegan Express
- Vegan House
- Vegan Village Internet Cafe
- Lotus

Also, we will have one person with us that is a heavy meat eater and may be pre-dispositioned to make fun of vegan food.

Thanks for your advice.

If you've got a heavy meat eater, maybe go to Bulan if you're in the Vegan Thai mode. its not 100% veg, but has tons of vegan options and its kind of nice and will impress a vegan first timer. I had a really good experience with bring a carnivor to shojin, too!

Yea I think I was reading on happycow that someone else had a good time taking an onni to Shojin, so I think I will talk my friends into that one.

Thanks for your feedback.

Oh yea, and I am in the vegan thai mode because I haven't been to any of the many many vegan thai places that have sprung up in LA yet. Hopefully I can change that this trip.
