Is That Budweiser Vegan?

Bethlehem City Council member Michael Colón (with an ó, damn it!) volunteers every year at Veg Fest, and most beers are vegan friendly. But they are not alcoholic friendly. So I ate a delicious falafel wrap and washed it down with ice-cold lemonade at Victoria Lahoud's Lebanese Street Food truck.

"I didn't ask to be Lebanese; I was born lucky," she says.


I eat enough falafel and hummus that I'm hoping to be named an honorary Lebanese.

    I visited Beirut in 2011 and found it to be one of the coolest, friendliest places on the face of the planet! My favorite was/is: Al Falamanki (Damascus Road -- Sodeco). Check out the fun Web site if you want to explore the world of Falamanki. Such a fun place... http://www.alfalamanki.com/

    Nice website and restaurant. No franchise needed in the LV. We have Daddy's Place, Beirut Inn, Mediterranean Deli and Betty's Luncheonette. Anatolian is for Turkish food.

    Bernie,

    You are missing one of the best local places for good Lebanese pies. 1000 block of Northampton St. Pink/Purple building. Great ice cream. Fridays are pie day. Spinach, meat, and chicken pies to knock your smelly socks off. Give it a try, let us know.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
