Support Portland Small Business and Eat Local for World Vegan Month!

World Vegan Month is being celebrated far and wide in Portland Business Districts all throughout November. In fact, Portland was recently named Best Vegan City in the US! We are so lucky to enjoy the fruits of the bustling Vegan foodie scene here! To celebrate World Vegan Month, Veganizer has joined forces with 20+ vegan restaurants and carts in PDX to bring you delicious food and drink specials from November 1 to November 30. Each participating location will be donating a portion of sales from their World Vegan Month specials to a selected nonprofit. Starting at $5, specials include appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks. Round up your buddies and visit multiple locations to make it a restaurant crawl. Check out the restaurants and nonprofits they are supporting here and get on out there to support those and so many more local vegan businesses below:

  • Central Eastside Industrial: We featured Ice Queen in our Wednesday email last week because this is a Native-owned shop that creates delicious vegan paletas and ice cream sold all over Portland, and now at their brick and mortar in SE Portland.
