Info on top places for vegan grub would be appreciated. The cheaper the better!

Karma Cream - tons of vegan ice cream and toppings. Vegan cookies/brownies as well. Right down the street from 1982.
Boca Raton - aweome vegan friendly tex-mex food. Near several venues, though I can't remember which ones.

If you're broke there is a Taco Bell across the street from 1982 as well.

Garor Dawgs- Vegan Hotdogs and chili!!

also there was the really good BBQ place that had bbq tempeh I can not remember the name at all....

Check out this thread from last year. Lots of good stuff:

By Boca Raton I think you meant Boca Fiesta?

Reggae Shack is pretty great too.

The vegan brunch buffet at wayward council on sunday last year was amazing

I'm pretty sure the tofu and tempeh fried rice at Buddha Belly/Steamers is vegan. Steamers is like, 3 blocks from the Holiday Inn. The fried rice is huge and costs about $7.

I'm also fairly certain Leo's has a vegan pizza.

Thanks so much! planning plenty ahead for this. It's gonna be big!

You know it, I make those vegan cinnamon buns, if you haven't had them, come this year, they will blow your mind.

do taco bell do vegan stuff???

Yeah, just ask for beans instead of beef, no cheese, no sour cream. And depending on what you're getting you might have to ask for no sauce as well. I always go for the bean and potato burrito.

VEGANS ACROSS THE US LOVE THE BEAN AND POTATO BURRITO!!!

fuck I want to go get one the minute sickie27 wakes up!

Also, if you're going to be in Tampa for Pre-Fest, make sure you go to Taco Bus. You will NOT be disappointed.

DONE!!!!

I am eating my bean & potato burrito right now!

Reggae Shack is the best place, together with Boca Fiesta, maybe.

i also liked that place "near" boca fiesta where they sell pizza ... i think it was "joe" something . ouch
