The start of a new month offers an opportunity for new challenges and beginnings. For instance, guys take part in what they call No Shave November, where they don’t shave their facial hair for the entire month.
If you’re looking for a new way to challenge yourself, the first day of November is World Vegan Day.
What is being vegan, anyway, and how is it different from being vegetarian? I often confuse the two, too. Vegans and vegetarians both follow a plant-based diet, choosing not to eat meat and fish. However, vegans have a stricter diet as they also choose not to consume anything derived from animals products like dairy, eggs or even honey. It may be hard to imagine, but meat substitutes taste just like meat. Plus, vegan meals leave you feeling more full for longer.
Fun fact: plant-based foods are also very good for your digestive health.
With this in mind, we made list of vegan restaurants and delivery options in the city that are worth checking out.

There are many ways to get involved even if you aren’t vegan. One of the ways is trying out some vegan options. Who knows, you might even like it.
