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]
