Went out with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fabrisse to NuVegan Cafe, a vegan soul food place near Howard University, about 0.6 miles from Petworth Metro. The fried 'chicken' was excellent, some of the best fake-chicken I've had; they even had food-safe dowels as 'drumsticks'. And apparently they have the best collard greens in the city, vegan or not. The only problem I had was that the ceiling fans combined with the recessed lighting made for a dizzying strobe effect in most of the cafe.
We then walked down to T Street, to a place called Ice Cream Jubilee, where I had a single scoop of their Thai Iced Tea ice cream -- a lovely orange color and so tasty! They also make their mint chip with spearmint instead of peppermint, which is what I do when I make mint ice cream at home; it's a much more robust flavor. Apparently they will soon have a cardamon-black pepper, which I do want to try.
