We will be hosting a vegetarian Thanksgiving at the Acetarium (265 Elm street (very close to Davis Square).

We'll have vegan/vegetarian turkey and, if we're lucky, tofurducken as well, and other creative reinventions of tradition. We are planning also have Agua de Valencia Sorbet and drinks.

If you're going to come, please plan to bring food and/or drinks. We have two kitchens we can use if you'd like to cook here but the space might be tight so let us know if you're planning to od that. You can also cook at home bring food over and warm it up at the Acetarium.

No stores open on thanksgiving!!![edit]

Although there are sometimes a few exception, no stores are open on Thanksgiving!

Let us repeat: NO STORES ARE OPEN ON THANSKGIVING!

Some of them close early on Wednesday! I'm tempted put a blink tag on this. Plan ahead!

Except for City Feed and Supply on Centre Street in JP! :D

Make it Veg*n![edit]

We're doing a vegetarian meal and we ask that folks bringing and cooking food go veg for the night. Vegan is not required but very strongly encouraged because it's a lowest common denominator. So, Earth Balance instead of butter; don't gratuitously de-veganize a dish!

A full list with pictures from last year shows how almost every food item was vegan: http://www.flickr.com/photos/madprime/6400645105/

Things to buy/bring[edit]

REMEMBER REMEMBER: Nothing is open on Thanksgiving. Like nothing. That means everything needs to purchased before businesses close on Wednesday. and Some of them close early. (Of note, Farmer's Bounty was open last year until 3PM or so on Thurs, pretending not to know the law. It's been shut down permenantly for this infraction.)

Move stuff from this list to the one above if people pick it up or commit to bringing it:
