Silver City - Vegan, Raw, Living, Gelato!

I am not blogging today on any specific restaurant. I figured I could share a little more information about myself and my new blog quest. I've done quite a bit of traveling and I have never passed up a meal, but trying to plan trips is so tough when my husband is a strict Vegan.

The very first research I do is to find the best Vegan and Vegetarian restaurants [Vvr] possible and then the museums and attractions - and hopefully in a town within driving distance of Albuquerque. It's not that I only travel within state, but for a quick weekend trip - driving distance is a must. In other blogs, I may share some great places out of state like some in Florida, Arizona, and Toronto - but for now I'll stick to inside the state borders.

Exclusively Vvr in New Mexico are few and far between - especially after having been spoiled by the opportunity to enjoy restaurants like Sublime in Ft. Lauderdale. We always plan a side trip to Ft Lauderdale every time we're in Florida - just to dine there. It's so refreshing to be able to get the food we love in a serious 'grownup' fine-dining experience.

I am always searching for a great committed Vvr to open up in any city in New Mexico because I would be willing to drive quite far to patronize them.

Silver City has an awesome Vvr that is we were able to visit during our 1st anniversary celebration in March of 2007. We really recommend the Peace Meal Coop for Vegetarian, Vegan and Live Food Dining.

We ordered a couple of delicious raw salads, a hummus plate and a mock-egg salad sandwich. I wish we’d had more time there to be able to eat in more than once. We definitely plan to go back.

And to top off any meal in Silver City – we highly recommend the Italian Ice Cream and Delicious desserts at Alotta Gelato. Hubby was delighted be able to order any fruit-flavored gelato to satisfy his sweet-tooth with a vegan dessert. Ask the server which are vegan/dairy free. OOOoohhh yes – heavenly, and so rich and creamy!
