Noble Vegetarian, which opened in July, serves Vietnamese food. Their website is currently under construction so you’ll have to check them out in person. Conveniently located near American River College.

Great place to do some college leafleting then go for lunch!

Happy to report a new vegetarian restaurant in Sacramento, next to the Colonial Theater, just off Broadway, Au Lac Veggie. Serves pan-Asian cuisine.

Now available for pre-order: the 2008 Vegetarian Bay Area: The Ultimate Guide. It starts shipping Jan 8th.

Or if you can’t wait, buy the current edition. It’s always printed in small batches so it’s always current. It’ll just have 2007 on the cover instead of 2008. 🙂

For any orders placed this month, please specify if it’s a pre-order, otherwise the default will be to ship the current edition. Thanks!
