A cheap ploy and cheap meal
Breaking news: Nearly a year ago, a cheap ploy in the form of an embarrassing poem in this microcolumn was used to convince the owners of Pushkin’s Bakery (1820 29th Street) to include vegan cookies on their gluten- and dairy-free menu. There are now double-chocolate with walnuts and Russian tea cookies, so you're welcome. In other news, Kaveri Madras Cuisine (1148 Fulton Avenue) offers masala dosas for five puny dollars on Wednesday nights. This 2-foot-long meal is twice as long and twice as delicious as similarly priced subs at those ubiquitous sandwich shops, so experts advise readers not to blow this choice. And finally, The V Word's Eye in Sky copter spotted a sign on Stockton Boulevard announcing that an eatery called Every Vegan is coming soon. Stay tuned for more details as they develop.
