All of January 2023, restaurants across NYC, Las Vegas, and Portland are debuting new vegan dishes in celebration of Vegan Dining Month - an initiative by Vegans, Baby benefitting local charities and amplifying vegan awareness.

Thought this might be of interest as a feature or social media collaboration:

Vegan curiosities will be fed the entire month of January with Vegan Dining Month - including New York City Vegan Dining Month, Las Vegas Vegan Dining Month, and Portland Vegan Dining Month - where restaurants across each city will debut new vegan dishes in order to encourage locals to go vegan for January. Created by Vegans, Baby founder Diana Edelman, this plant-based initiative and experience will also give a portion of the proceeds to nonprofit organizations in each city.

During this month-long celebration:

Vegan lovers and the vegan curious explore never-before-eaten plant-based meals.

Restaurants connect with their local community and learn about 

the plant-based demand.

NYC locals aid Support + Feed, founded by Maggie Baird, who happens to be superstar Billie Eilish’s mom, with the mission to combat food insecurity and the climate crisis. This year, Support + Feed joined the Billie Eilish: Happier Than Ever World Tour which launched their Plant-Based Pledge, asking guests to eat at least one plant-based meal a day for 30 days for human and planetary wellness. 

Las Vegas locals support Animal Help Alliance with every new vegan dish they try at participating restaurants.

Portland locals aid Life of Riley Dog Rescue with every new vegan dish they try at participating restaurants.

Locals learn about how to go vegan from Veganuary.

The vegan lifestyle befriends many, many more.
