Saturday Night at Slutty Vegan

Brooklyn's best party is a line for veggie burgers.

A COUPLE WEEKENDS ago, as the sun was setting, cars began to pull up to the corner of Fulton Street and South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene. Passengers-a few in Halloween costumes, many dressed in puffer coats or beanies-exited the vehicles and made their way down the block, ready to stand on line outside Slutty Vegan, the meat-free fast-food stand that opened in mid-September to immediate crowds. "It's a hot spot," said a woman named Rachel who was making her first trip. She then pointed to Habana Outpost across the street. "It's a poppin' spot that's been there for years," she added. "I feel like this is a perfect location-it's nice to, like, see something Black-owned."
