RESTAURANT/TRAVEL BOOKS
1.  Vegetarian Times magazine has an excellent listing of all veg (vegan/
vegetarian) restaurants / organizations / retreats  in USA & Canada.  You can
probably order reprints from:  Vegetarian Times Bookshelf,
  P.O. Box 446 ;  Mt. Morris, IL. 61054   (312)848-8100.
They do this every year, or every-other year.  Last was August 1989 issue.
Send updated info to them for inclusion in next release.  They didn't publish
list in V.T. Magazine in summer 1990, probably because they don't want to cut
into their sales for their $9.95 "Guide to Natural Food Restaurants in the
U.S. and Canada", 1990 edition (which I suggest you order from the American
Vegan Society, so they get the commission).

2.  The Vegetarian Society of the U.K.  (VSUK)  publishes the "International
Vegetarian Travel Guide", which concentrates on Veg. Restaurants & guesthousts
in England & Europe, listing establishments for each city in every country.
Phone & order the 1992 guide.  It about 4 pounds, and you can put it on
your Mastercard or Visa.  Using a credit card avoids you the conversion problem
& international money order charge (most banks charge FIVE dollars!). ATTENTION:
from the USA, be SURE to specify AIR-MAIL, or it'll take two months by ship.
   The International Vegetarian Travel Guide
     "Lists hundreds of places to eat out & stayover!"   about 4 pounds
   The Vegetarian Handbook  
     "The guide to living a vegetarian lifestyle!"       about 3 pounds
Also, you can become a member of VSUK via phone, and then you'd receive
their [great] magazine called , surprisingly enuf, "The Vegetarian" and the
Vegetarian Handbook.  They also have a children's quarterly magazine.
I think the magazine is 10 pounds.  With membership 16 pounds.  Airmail
delivery is 10 pounds additional.
VSUK;    Parkdale, Dunham Road;    Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 4QG;    ENGLAND
Telephone: (061)928-0793   [for USA dialers, the country code is 44, so to

Remark:  If you do travel about, the VSUK solicits your help:  if you
have any additions/changes to info. in the Handbook, send it in to them.

Staff of Life Deli - cheap, all vegetarian food freshly prepared. Water Street.
Saturn Cafe - soups, salads, quiche, ratatouille, wonderfully sinful chocolate
   desserts (try the Chocolate Madness).  Student crowd.
Whole Earth Restaurant - UCSC campus near the Bay Tree Bookstore.  Good, fairly
   cheap student fare.
In Santa Cruz, try the chai!  It's a spiced Indian tea available at most health
   food restaurants.

There is a great new vegetarian restaurant in San Jose.  It is called
"White Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant" and is at 80 N. Market street.  While
there are many "meat" dishes on the menu--identified as beef, chicken, etc.--
our waiter claimed everything was vegetarian.  He said, and I quote,
"it all tofu."    Anyway, it was deeeee-licious and *cheap* (c. $4/entree).  
Highly recommended and followup comments appreciated.

Last week, I had been to a new vegetarian "White Lotus" on 80 (?), 
N. Market Street. It had a wide selection of dishes and the prices
were reasonable. Ambiance is pleasant and airy and the service is
friendly. It is between St. John's and Santa Clara Street.
We tried crispy chowmien, stuffed tofu, vermicilli curry,  coffee with ice, 
Liked them all. Especially the crispy chowmien and the coffee.

    dancing on Friday and Saturday nights (!).
Lucille's Cafe, 38 Miller Avenue #10, Mill Valley (415) 381-4613

3/11/92  Geoff Lee = geofflee@llnl.gov  says that
  "Beau Thai 870 Cannery Row 373-8811" in Monterey, was the worst Thai
   restaurant he had ever eaten at.  So, I have removed from list. (meh)

Debbie Lent Restaurant Reviews:
4/3/92  Fresh Choice restaurant: "It's mostly a salad bar.  Good salad, rubber 
   bread, sterile environment."
5/23/92 Amici's East Coast Pizzeria:  "The operative word, happily, is GARLIC!
   Excellent garlic bread and veggie non-dairy extra garlic pizza, clean arty
   decor and great location more than compensated for a pedestrian house salad
   and top 40 rock background music.  Plus, validated parking!  (Especially 
   good after sailing)."

6/1/92  I hear Govindas (86 Carl, S.F.) has closed.  Replaced by crepe place.

6/8/92 From dennie@cats.ucsc.edu:  I updated the Santa Cruz listings:
  added Asian Rose, Gateways, Malabar  and dropped the closed Zanzibar, Ricks
  Charbroil, and Seychelles.   [ Many Thanks ... editor (Mike) ]

6/12/92  From "Vegetarians in Marin" newsletter, I see that a new vegetarian
  cafe has opened in Larkspur on 4/28/92.  Sounds scrumptious.  It would be 
  refreshing to ride a ferry to Larkspur Landing (rather than drive), then 
  somehow make your way to the Garden of Eatin.

6/19/92 From   Tom Billings    teb@stat.Berkeley.EDU
  I sent you e-mail recently, about a new vegetarian "restaurant" Govinda's
  in Berkeley. I called them, and they are indeed in the Berkeley Hare
  Krishna temple.  I was told that they are not a restaurant; presumably
  visitors eat with the residents.  They request a $4 donation for lunch, $5
  for dinner, $3 for salad bar, so the prices are fairly low.

  RE: the "Gravity Spot" at 1136 Valencia, SF (listed as vegetarian): ...
  It appears to be primarily a bar, and it is not vegetarian. The menu lists 
  things like "Cajun Ham" and other meat dishes; earlier menus listed seafood 
  (scallops? don't remember).  So I would suggest that you delete the "Gravity 
  Spot" from the vegetarian list.   [Deleted ... editor (Mike)]

9/8/92 From geoff_lee@lccmail.ocf.llnl.gov
  I don't know if this is relevant to VINFO, but the Dahlak Eritrean/Ethiopian
  restaurant in Sunnyvale, one of my favorites, is closing down sometime within
  a year. I haven't called them yet to find the final date. But the closing is
  not due to lack of business; it's due to the end of conflict in Ethiopia. The
  owners are returning to the homeland. That's good for them, but sad for us.
