Moby is most famous for his vegan lifestyle, his atmospheric techno, and the spartan NYC digs. Oh, who are we kidding? Moby’s really made a name for himself recently for his attack on TomCat and their decision to let Vanity Fair be the first to carry pictures of their little bundle of Scientological joy, Suri.

But a little DCist digging (well, we were just reading his blog) has found a few things Moby had to say about the city we call home. In a post dated August 14, 2006, this is what he opined on the District:

i like d.c.
it’s a swamp, and once the ice-caps melt it’ll be under 10 feet of water, but it’s an interesting place.
although i have to say that i’ve pretty consistently had some really bad food in d.c.
like, really, really bad food.
almost as if people have gone out of their way to make bad food.
but who wants to listen to me complain.
and d.c does have great vegan baked goods.
just not so great in the regular vegan food department.

Though the “D.C. was a swamp” meme is merely an urban legend, we agree with his other criticism. D.C. just isn’t a vegan town. Spare Vegetate — which, given the troubles it has had with its neighbors, is a surprise to still have around — and Viridian, there aren’t many other places to get vegan-friendly fare. We’ll try harder next time, Moby.
