On May 31, Soy Happy led a group outing
to New York Mets' Shea Stadium to celebrate the introduction of veggie dogs in their line up. July 11 update: Please NOTE that we have heard from a Mets fan that the stand offering these items is now closed. We are waiting on a confirmation from the Division Manager for Aramark at Shea Stadium regarding the status. We will update our menu listing for the Mets in our Reference Guide, as soon as we get a reply!
Among the group was a noted residential architect, a fabulous flamenco dancer,
a custom vegan glove maker (recently voted in by the National
Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum), an MTV video award winner,
a former 3-time Little League All Star, an attorney who pro
bonos for animal cases... and many others!
