The American Political Science Association annual conference in 2019 was in DC. I don't remember much from the hectic trip beyond my trip to NuVegan (where nutrition meets compassion), a walk around Howard University and the Feminist & Queer Happy Hour I co-hosted at Busboys and Poets.
NuVegan, "is 100% vegan prepared and made fresh in our kitchen. We serve in a cafeteria style line with a variety of food options that range from our cold raw sides like the sweet kale salad, hot side item of our popular mac & cheese, the delicious crab cake sandwich and we can’t forget the warm jumbo size cinnamon rolls as well as other baked good treats. Our food items are made with all natural and organic ingredients whenever possible, upon request we can accommodate some gluten free options." As you can see, I obviously snagged one of the jumbo cinnamon rolls!
I love Busboys and Poets and I've had the opportunity to visit several of the now nine locations. It's a community space that has a fab bookstore as well as a coffee shop and restaurant with lots of vegan options. They always have amazing events with activists and musicians too.
