My friend amazonsun is vegan and I've seen her be challenged when we've gone to D*C together. She can usually find food but she doesn't always eat well while traveling because her options are really limited.

Well lucky for you there are plenty of vegan friendly restaurants in the Fort that also serve meat for Jen. Woot~!
