Where To Satisfy Your Late Night Food Cravings In Seattle
It might be news to some people, but… many vegans actually stay up late and do weekend things like concerts and bar-hopping, and - get this - we wanna eat food late at night sometimes, too!
But late-night food menus have always catered to meat and dairy eaters, so its really hard to find a substantial late-night bite to eat (aside from 2 orders of Taco Bell potatoes and a Baja Blast - hashtag over it).
Well, I am here to tell you: times they are a-changin’! At least in Seattle and other vegan-friendly cities. Late night menus are starting to get more accommodating, and I’ve got a hot-and-ready list for you to keep handy the next time you feel those late-night munchies coming on.
