Vegetarian World Guides Projects in Development
It's a simple fact: the world needs more vegetarian travel guides!
There are a number of great guides to England and Europe (not all
of them available in the United States, unfortunately), but an incredible
dearth of vegetarian travel guides to popular destinations here
in the US.
To remedy this situation, we're hard at work expanding our series,
with two books currently in production and many more on the drawing
board.
Currently in Production:
Vegetarian America: The Diet-Savvy Guide to Top US Vacation Destinations
Wondering where to find a great meatless meal in Yellowstone National
Park or Colonial Willamsburg? Thinking about a romantic bed and
breakfast tour of New England, but don't know which places cater
to vegetarians and vegans? Bracing yourself for two weeks of tossed
salads and baked potatoes as you vacation in North Carolina's Outer
Banks?
Forget your worries and leave the research to us! In January we
began work on Vegetarian America: the Diet-Savvy Guide to Top
US Vacation Destinations. Due out in early 2003, Vegetarian
America will be the first vegetarian guide to the most popular
tourist destinations in the country. In addition to covering American
cities (where it's easy to find decent veggie meals), the guide
will include in-depth chapters on popular national parks, beach
resorts, and amusement areas -- places where finding ANYTHING to
eat can be a chore. And instead of only listing places to eat, the
guide will point readers toward the best places to spend the night
and shop in each destination, too.
Like any travel guide, we'll also include information about the
most popular tourist attractions -- museums, theaters, shopping
districts, and so on -- in each destination. We'll also profile
a number of alternative attractions -- places we think you might
like to check out, like animal and bird sanctuaries, organic farms
and wineries, environmental preserves, parks and wildlife refuges,
retreat centers and alternative education centers, and lots of fun
and funky places to shop that feature cruelty free and free-trade
products.
We're working with dozens of local experts to find hidden treasures
-- restaurants, inns, markets and tourist attractions -- in each
destination. Our goal is nothing short of providing a new, alternative
way to see the United States, with delicious vegetarian meals at
every stop!
We'll have more detailed information available soon, but for now,
check out our List of Included
Destinations.
If you’re interested in contributing
to the guide, know of a restaurant, inn or market you'd
like us to consider for inclusion, or want to be notified when the
book is finished and available for sale, we'd love to hear from
you!
