HumVeganity events are open to folks of all persuasions - omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Some say HUMANity, we say VEGANity. What's the difference? Veganity is the vegan way of being human. It's not for all creatures - and perhaps not for all humans. But for those who embrace its delicious healthful bounty – through a variety of reasons including, health, morality, spirituality, environmental impact, animal welfare and animal rights – there are limitless benefits. Join us for delicious din …

Meal Swap provides tremendous time and financial savings, and simplified trips to the grocery store.

We're a group that loves to cook, eat and drink together! I created this group to meet people who love cooking food and sharing it with other people. The East Bay has some great restaurants but what really makes it is the community it brings together. What better way to bring community together than over a shared, home cooked meal? We'll meet about once a month at a group member's home. Let me know if you are interested in hosting, organizing or have an idea for a themed potluck.

Intro: We explore East Bay’s mid-scale restaurants, happy hour locations, fun places and occasionally we’ll take trips to San Francisco and Oakland. We have other fun too. We mostly do activities on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Our aim is to be an easy, pressure free way to have a good time, socialize, indulge. Instead of staying in, why not go out, meet new people, make new friends, try new things, and see new places? Events: Dining Out/Restaurants Happy Hours/Beer Socials/Wine Bars & Tastings …
