This week, a number of local denizens are celebrating Meat Week, a bacchanal celebration of barbecue and other forms of carnivorous enjoyment. In response, DC Vegan is hosting a Meat-Free Week from February 7-14 to highlight the plethora of meatless options around town.

Some highlights from the week include a five-course vegan tasting menu at Nage for $45 on February 7 (half of sales go to benefit Miriam’s Kitchen Meat-Free Fridays), Food Truck Day on February 10 with discounts on various vegetarian and vegan items, and $5 off any vegetarian or vegan 18-inch pizza at Zpizza Penn Quarter on February 13.
