New Hours: LGBT-friendly "The Shangri-La Diner"

Hello all,

The most LGBT-friendliest demi-vegetarian place I know, The Shangri-La Diner, has NEW HOURS!

Now for questions...

What the heck is a demi-vegetarian?
See the Vegetarian Circle's website at: http//www.yellins.com/veg/different_types.html

Will they serve other sorts of vegetarians & vegans, too?
Of course. The owner even separates the food (fish in one skillet, non-fish in another).

Wow! Where is this magical place?
2201 Cherokee St
Saint Louis, MO 63118-3226
(314) 772-8308
{corner of Cherokee & Missouri streets in Cherokee Antique Row}

What are the new hours?
Thursday -- 11 AM to 9 PM
Friday -- 11 AM to 10 PM
Saturday -- 9 AM to 10 PM
Sunday -- 9 AM to 5 PM
Sunday -- 9AM to 2PM -- ALL YOU CAN EAT BRUNCH $10.00 {INCLUDES FREE TEA OR COFFEE!} VEGAN ITEMS AT EVERY BRUNCH!

What about other days/hours?
Straight from their personnel: "If enough people start coming in on Thursdays we may expand our hours even more!"


Do they have a website?
Yep, http://www.theshangriladiner.com/ or you can also visit their Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/shangriladiner (which is being updated soon).

Hey, I'm skeptical... what accolades do they have?
They're all on the menu at http://www.theshangriladiner.com/images/TheCurrentMenu.pdf (yes... a shameless attempt to get you hungry, too).

Who are you... why are you doing this?
I'm Shän (pronounced like "Shawn"... yes, that's a boy's name, I know).
I'm doing this because 1) I am vegan, 2) another vegetarian place (who shall remain nameless) turned my lesbian/trans-self away, 3) the food is SO DARN GOOD, and 4) I love the people there... they ROCK!

Are you going to stop talking?
Yes, I am. There. I'm done. Really.


Thanks for listening...

Shän
