Food Glorious Food!
So we start our tour on sunday. An important factor in having an enjoyable tour is food! We like having nice dinners before shows, it makes us happy.
So we have a request. Can people send us suggestions of where to eat. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as its good! And if it serves vegan food as well, even better! The close to the venue the better, we’re pretty lazy.

I could give you a suggestion for Chicago, but you aren’t playing Chicago this time.
Just trying to guilt trip you guys. Have a great tour.
Queen of Sheba is pretty good Ethiopian right around the corner from the Wonder Ballroom in Portland. It’s cheap and vegan friendly!

Near the Bluebird, you’ve got your Annies Diner:

Nothing vegany about the menu, but they’re lovely, lovely people and I’m sure they’d be happy to adapt…

There’s a chain of vegan restaurants called Native Foods, and there’s one in Costa Mesa about a mile away from where you’re playing: http://www.nativefoods.com/
Avanti Cafe’s also good, but a bit further away:

You’d have even more options if you came to San Diego, which I’m told is America’s Finest City. ahem.

In philly there’s a place a few blocks towards the river called Maoz, I’m not a vegetarian, but it’s some of the best food I’ve ever had. Of course, you could also check out Jim’s Steaks, and say to hell with animal rights…

ananda fuara is a veggie restaurant on market st. in sf, it’s probably a 10 or 15 minute walk from slim’s. they’re pretty good, if i remember correctly. but while you’re here, you should definitely get a burrito! don’t listen to san diego if san diego tells you they have the best burritos, because san diego is a LIAR. so, if you’re into that kind of thing, i can tell you that, too.

Depending on how far you want to go, Araya’s in seattle has great veggie/vegan food. Its a little ways from Neumo’s but Piecora’s pizza is pretty close and pretty tasty.

In Minneapolis you’ll be down the block from Cafe Brenda and around the corner from Pizza Luce, both of which have great food, vegan options, and eponymous dot coms. You’ll also be like 2 blocks from Sex World, but I wouldn’t eat there.

I am going to your show in philly tonight, and my family was wondering the same thing. We have dietary concerns, considering we are allergic to dairy.

I second Matt’s suggestion of going to Fresh in Toronto, however it’s not really close to the Opera House. You should go anyway. The nearest location is Queen St. W. and Spadina. Opera House is Queen East.

In Denver you could go to Watercourse, but it would be a bit of a walk. It’s on 17th closer to downtown. They specialize in Vegan/Vegetarian food, and they are quite good.
Oh! There is also a cupcake shop called The Shoppe just a few blocks down from the Bluebird. It is excellent. At the end of that block exists a very good comic shop called All in a Dream.

In Milwaukee there’s a restaurant called Casablanca which has good Middle Eastern cuisine and it’s only about a mile away from Turner Hall.
If you’re looking for something vegan/vegetarian there are two cafes called Beans & Barley and Comet Cafe which aren’t as close (about 2-2.5 miles away). I haven’t personally been to either, but I’ve checked out their menus and they look pretty decent and have gotten good reviews.
Otherwise, you could always just eat at Turner Hall’s restaurant, they serve a good fish fry on Fridays (it’s Milwaukee’s most famous fish fry, so they claim).

Seattle: The Honey Hole (conviently a two blocks west from Neumos and i would definitely recommend it)
Quinn’s and Via Tribunali (a bit pricey but if you’re up for it then go for it!)
