New VEGAN Restaurant! (Thanks Heather!)

FYI: There is a new vegan restaurant that opened in Northville. I called the owner, and she said they could use some support. I thought I’d let you know in case anybody is hungry! If you know of any ARA orgs locally (Vegan MeetUp groups, etc.), please feel free to forward this to them. Also, feel free to forward this to any dog/cat orgs too; maybe plant some seeds. SFAR, MARS, SMART, or ADAPTT members might be interested in promoting the restaurant to MI vegan and animal rescue groups to get the ball rolling for this new vegan restaurant.
