Burger, hold the cow

A recent survey by goveggie.com ranked D.C. the sixth-most vegetarian-friendly city in the country. And for thrifty college students, what spells fast-food-vegetarian better than the classic veggie burger? Even fast-food giant Burger King has caught onto the veggie craze with its 2005 introduction of the BK Veggie Burger. But why walk to Rosslyn for a commercialized slab of not-meat when there are better options within blocks of the Georgetown campus?

Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or simply vegi-curious, Georgetown’s veggie burgers give you a chance to do good for your environment, body and wallet all in one sitting.

Sifting through the thrift in D.C.

You hate everything in your closet, that duct tape won’t hold your favorite pair of pants together any longer or you need a new set of dishes. Whatever the reason, you need to shop. There is a healthy alternative to the extravagant prices and looming sales floor assistants behind those gleaming storefront windows on M street. If you are a fan of recycling and a good bargain, then “thrifting” may be your calling.
