According to a recent piece in the New York Post, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg paid a visit to Morton's Steakhouse in downtown Brooklyn, "but refrained from eating any meat and was 'strictly vegetarian.'"
Think Bloomberg has been talking to our friend Chris P. Carrot? Chris P. and Bloomberg are both politicians fighting to make our planet a little greener, so it only makes sense that they would run in the same circles—or at least run into each other occasionally. I know Chris P. hasn't won any elections (yet), but there's no denying that the guy's full of great advice on the green front. Bloomberg might be paying attention to Chris P. when the über-tuber says that going vegetarian is one of the best things that we can do for the environment.

Yes, Mortons's has a lot of options for Veg*ns!! I went to Morton's last Saturday for a friends birthday and had a wonderful meal of a Chopped Salad (hold the egg and bacon), garlic sauteed green beans, sauteed spinach and mushrooms and a baked potato. And, there were more options than that.
More otions there than most restaurants :)

Don't get your hopes up too much, it was Good Friday.

I doubt if Bloomberg is a vegetarian. He is a good Mayor and proactive environmentalist. Making NYC more green and pristine.

Lots of celebs are vegan or vegetarian, but it would be great if there were some politicians embracing the veggie movement!

I'm quite sure he's Jewish (i.e., wouldn't observe the dietary restrictions of Good Friday). But in any event, vegetarians mustn't patronize such establishments -- no matter how veg. may be your order, your $$$ is headed into the coffers of our enemy.

Finally, someone in the government that actually cares! Thank you! Obama wouldn't do anything like this but a MAYOR can?!?!? We need a change. If this mayor has the...guts to do this then im pretty sure the president should. But hey,it's all about imgage i guess. Animals are more important if you ask me.

I wouldn't get your hopes up just because of one incident. Bloomberg stands behind the horse carriage industry here in new york, so he is not on MY favorite list of people. I don't believe that he is a vegetarian at all.
As far as the comment about politicians being vegetarians, we do have Dennis Kucinich, who really should be our president!
