New York City Bar Hosts Vegan Speaker Panel

On November 5, New Yorkers will be able to learn about the vegan lifestyle at the most unlikely of locations: a bar in the city’s East Village neighborhood. Hosted by Raising The Bar—a lecture series started by New York University and Columbia University students earlier this year—10 speaker panels focusing on a variety of themes will be held at various New York City bars. “The Vegan Phenomenon” will feature four speakers: vegan fashion expert Joshua Katcher, Real Simple magazine’s Sarah Copeland, and The Monday Campaigns’ Peggy Neu and Diana K. Rice. Time Inc. recently partnered with Raising The Bar to bring the popular speaker series to an even broader audience.
