Tucked away on Wentworth Street near Brick Lane, Unity Diner isn’t just serving up burgers and cocktails. It’s serving a mission. Every bite, every sip, every pudding forked up at the finish of the night contributes to a bigger picture.
And it is how business should be in

The profits from Unity Diner leave directly to Surge Sanctuary, giving rescued animals a chance to live out their days in protection, not suffering. While most hospitality venues are worrying about squeezing the highest possible margin out of your plate of chips, Unity is thinking about how they can generate a fairer, kinder world. It’s a business model that puts impact first.
And it works.
The venue is packed, the energy is buzzing, and the sustenance is good. Like, really good. But more than that, it’s a space that holds a radical kind of hope. The kind that says: business can

Many distinct memories of this wonderful man, 33 years after he passed away. Felix has been physically gone for 33 years now, an amount of second that is almost unworkable for me to accept. He&#;s been gone longer than he lived. And through all of those years, there is rarely[&#;]

But is this a pure coincidence, or is there a correlation between being queer and being vegan? Recently, I was on a date with a girl and, both being vegetarian or vegan, we discussed our dietary habits. She mentioned that she had a lot of queer friends who also happened to be vegetarian or vegan, and then made a fleeting comment about this seeming to be the case for a lot of queer people. Strangely enough, I’d never really thought about it before that, but a lot of queer people do happen to also be vegetarian or vegan. In fact, journalist Josie Le Vay created a poll on vegan Facebook groups in the UK, asking people if they identified as LGBT+. Out of responses, % said they were LGBT+.
