It has long been a tradition for our group to organize a Meetup on Thanksgiving Day, for those of us who are in the city without their family over the holiday.

We also warmly invite those who may be going later in the day to their family celebrations, to start their Thanksgiving Day with fellow vegetarians and vegans.

We are going to the excellent Go Zen Restaurant. It is a treat for us to be going there on Thanksgiving.

*****Please RSVP for one Thanksgiving venue only. Please do not RSVP at two Thanksgiving venues to hold a spot at an additional venue.*****
