Just in Case You Weren’t In DC on Sunday, You Could Have Gone to the New Parade in New York

This past Sunday in DC was the Post Hunt, which I blogged about previously. However, if you were not in DC, you could have gone to the new parade in New York City. I realize that this sounds rather weird, but this past Sunday marked the first, of a possible annual, Veggie Pride Parade. The parade went through the old meatpacking district and ended at Washington Square Park. I know by now that if you did not attend, that you were wondering what was at the parade. So let me tell you one of the highlights. They had a costumed “bride” and “groom” couple, named Penelo Pea Pod and Chris P. Carrot, who exchanged “veggie vows.” After the exchange, observers were asked to “Give Peas a Chance” and “Go Vegetarian.” My only thought was if there was ever going to be a veggie parade, it had to be in New York City. Because, if it could make it there, then it could make it anywhere.
