Which state in the USA?

[tofuandpotatoes]

I live in Asbury Park, NJ, but my heart belongs to Ithaca, NY, the hippy-vegetarian-liberal-punk-green-folkie-slacker-activist-tolerance-education-recycling-used book store-drum circle-artist-used clothing store-scenic gorges-multicultural capital of the world. Everyone cool should move there.

Cheers,

thats kinda how clairmont, California is. its a smallish college city. i go there all the time because its wonderful. it has a folk music store, a Rhino Records, a great used book store, a huge health food market, and a few little health markets in the village area. its wonderful, but sadly it is small and sort of empty. they also have a folk festival every year, which is great.

Laguna Niguel California. Best state in the union, in my honest opinion....Although living in the most superficial part of the world sucks, it's quite vegan friendly....

But if I was to live the rest of my life in the US, I would have to chose Burlington Vermont as my home.

i agree with the part about california i love it! although i hate how its so superficial in many parts. i live in the LA area and like to take the subway around. its funny because it goes from places like North Hollywood, filled with people dressed as movie characters and fancy restaurants, to Venice Beach, full of folkies and street performers. Venice is definitely my favorite place in the world. its a little fakish because its a huge torist spot, but its also great because there are people like Jingles, who runs a "Meat is Murder" stand and always tries his hardest to shock and inform people of the truth.

^ you could always come and visit Ventura, its a nice little beach town, all Vegan restaurant included.

[tofuandpotatoes]

California
Way vegan friendly for the most part

[Shrapnel]

I just moved back from Warsaw to the States, and am in American Fork, Utah (bleh, feels like I'm the only vegan in the whole state).

[Shrapnel]

Fort Collins, CO
Pretty vegan friendly atm, will be even more so after my friends and I graduate and open a vegan restaurant there

Cool. Heh, I used to live nearby, in Greely (as in when I was like 4).

[Klutz]

I'm in Iowa City right now and I gotta say, compared to all the places I've lived in the past, this seems like Vegan Paradise!

Oh that's cool - my bro teaches at Fort Collins. Do you still have that massive health food supermarket, I think called Alfalfa? It was amazing, huge, and almost scary - as vegans I think we get used to not having much of a choice!

[Bluestem]

Iowa, home of the best tofu, American Pride brand. I wish Iowa would use more of its soybean harvest for people food such as tofu and edamame, not animal feed.

[motherofaflower]

North Carolina. I live maybe 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach, probably less actually. Down by the beaches.

[Lifeonmars]

Bellingham Washington. Just south of Canada and North of Seattle. Its a vegan friendly college/family town.

[veganf]

MetroWest Boston, MA

[imblissful]

Black Hawk, CO here! Boulder is very veg friendly, Black Hawk is not (casino patrons are mostly meateaters I guess). Nederland is veg friendly.

There is so much to do here in this beautiful state. You definately can't get bored.

We don't have Alfalfa's anymore (I miss it), it's whole foods now, so it is the same store with higher prices.

ivandurago - you'll have to let us know when you open your restaraunt we'll have to come to the grandopening!!

How's the pizza at TJ's? That's the one place we still haven't been to.

Southern New Hampshire.

Powder. You go to Grasshoppers much? That place is the best!!!

[dfurbee]

Live in Bridgeport, WV. Not too vegan friendly in WV

[Chrilynhawk]

Oh, I live in NC and not too far from Asheville, though I can't manage to get up there very often (they have an Earth Fare and supposedly have quite a few vegan friendly restaurants).

Yup we have two all vegetarian (with TONS of vegan options) restaurants and even some of the more expensive fine dining places specifically have vegan options

So anyways I live in Asheville and it's my favorite place EVER

[Ben H.]

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. It's vegan-friendly but there are very strict alcohol laws here. I happen to love drinking beer. Next year after I graduate from cosmetology school I'm planning on moving to Portland, Oregon which is even more vegan-friendy and much more beer drinker-friendly.

[PaintedXSkyline]

Ben, I plan on going to Portland too.
I still have over 3 years to wait though.

[DiaShel]

I'd like nothing more to live in Portland. I completely feel in love with it. I don't know that I'll find a job in my field there though

Portland's one of the top places I'd like to visit, and maybe live for a while. Oregon's a romantic fantasy for me, I don't know why, I just really want to go there.

[terem]

Long Island, New York. Hopefully Queens in the near future, but that's if I can find some roomies to afford an apartment with!
I'm in Worcester, Mass right now going to school.

Wow, Worcester Mass is close to me AND I have a job in Queens that I start in June. Interesting!

[terem]

Ah that's so crazy DiaShel! It seems we're following a similar path.

I'll be back on Long Island in May, and then I'll be going to school in Queens in the Fall.

I just visited Portland this last weekend and had an amazing time. I would love to live there one day.
What is your field?

[DiaShel]

Audiology. The problem is that Portland U has an audiology program so the students there do their rotations at the hospitals/practices in the area so they are the ones that will get the few jobs that are there.

Actually I think I might like the sun too much to live there. If only I could find a way to just live there in the summer when it's not rainy.

[Eat Y'self Fitter]

Terem where in Worchester do you go to school. I know someone who goes to Clark..

[Mag]

South Carolina...I'm just grateful that I know where a Whole Foods is located and TWO Earth Fares!

[fondducoeur]

I am from Missouri, but moved to Pennsylvania in January. I have found State College to be a pretty vegan friendly town. However, my dream place to live is Seattle, WA.

[Tiffeecanoe]

Chicago, Illinois...right down town just west of "The Loop"

I go to Clark too! Who do you know?

[Nobylspoon]

I plan on moving to Portland after I finish college. I used to spend alot of time there when I lived in Seattle, both of those cities are great for vegans although Seattle is alot more expensive.

I am currently living in Austin now and it is another really vegan friendly city, 2 WholeFoods stores, a raw bar, several farmers markets and alot of local restaurants that are vegan friendly, some that are 100% vegan.

[vegannurse]

I live in northern Kentucky. Not too vegan friendly really. There's a whole foods in Cincinnati, but that's a 40 minute drive for me. :/ I want to move away from here because I grew up here and need a change. San Diego or Austin TX are the 2 places I'm debating!

[cholepuree]

Fremont, California. Soon to be somewere near San Francisco, CA. Eventually see myself in another country...

[mr_benjamin]

San Francisco, California.

Very vegan friendly as it's a rather liberal city in a liberal state. I wouldn't know too much though since I cook my own food for the most part and I never really go to the yuppie neighborhoods.

[girlEcho]

Denver, Colorado

[shellymi2nv]

Grew up in metro Detroit, been in Las Vegas for 15 years now.

[Sarabi]

Lived in Texas before going vegan. Don't live there.

Currently, I don't live in a state. I live in Washington, D.C. You're fine here as long as you have plenty of money and don't live in a lower-class neighborhood, which means black..... stores like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Safeway do not cater to poor people, period. Farmers' markets are bloody expensive. Cost me $5 for a one-liter bottle of apple cider.

[mandalay]

I live in Bethesda, Maryland. Assuming you can afford it (stuff is pretty expensive out here), it's fairly vegan-friendly. There's a co-op really close, Whole Foods, etc. It's right near DC, so you can pretty find everything you need around here if you have the money. Also, just about everyone at least knows what a vegetarian is (with the occasional obnoxious fish misconception).

[Degu]

...

[K Rog]

Pittsburgh, PA. 5 min from whole foods, Co-Op, great places to eat. We actually have a place that serves a totally vegan Sunday brunch- Pick an entree, and there is an entire vegan buffet that comes with with (breads, salads, about 10 different cakes, etc.) for $10. It is absolutely amazing.

[timberly]

live in new jersey but very close to nyc

[janette]

Transplanted to Killeen Texas, about an hour north of Austin. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA.

[baby_vicuña]

Southern California. Born and raised, never lived anywhere else. That's soon to change though

[Katalina]

I live in NJ.. I was considering moving to Portland (like so many others here apparently!), but I'll probably wimp out.

[King]

Wenatchee, Washington

The most unvegan-friendly place in the country...i swear we may be known for our apples but thats just a cover for the hostile lynchings of vegans, vegetarians or anyone who likes to eat healthy for that matter.

But hey if it takes me alone trying to change it to accomplish anything. Then let the lynching begin.
