breakfast at Ithaca Bakery: toasted everything bagel with Tofutti cream cheese; espresso

The next day, Stacey and I asked about some specific specialty bagels, and an employee told us that none of the bagels are vegan. He didn’t know what specifically wasn’t vegan about them (he said they all had some sort of dairy… butter or milk), and he seemed a bit unsure, so Stacey and I weren’t totally convinced either way. If you live in Ithaca, you should ask!

breakfast: toasted oat cereal with soymilk; coffee

lunch at Cafe Asia: green curry with tofu; white rice; cucumber salad

coffee from Cherrywood Coffeehouse

potluck brunch at Emily’s friend’s house: fruit salad that we brought (avocado, kiwi, strawberry, apple, tangerine, lemon juice); vegan cinnamon roll (recipe from don’t eat off the sidewalk); chocolate chip scone; zucchini frittata (with potatoes, tofu, etc); home fries; Simply orange juice. So many people brought vegan food, even though no one else was vegan! We brought the lamest vegan option by far. People in Austin are awesome.

on plane from Austin: salad with iceberg lettuce, shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, and no dressing; pretzels (from previous flight). On this flight, in addition to the salad (with optional cheese dressing), they were serving chicken sandwiches and Twix bars. It was listed as a “snack,” not a meal, which might be why they didn’t have any other options (vegetarian, kosher, vegan, etc) even though I signed up as vegan when buying the ticket. However, someone who flew a few days before said they announced that Continental might be stopping all “special diet” options on flights (perhaps just international) starting April 1st. I need to find confirmation of this.

on commuter rail from Newark: vegan tres leches

on NYC subway: everything bagel

(travel rule: it is important to eat a different thing on every form of transportation that you take, particularly things that are sort of gross to observers, such as tres leches that has been thrown around in your suitcase all day)
