Baltimore City Councilwoman Odette Ramos became vegan 25 years ago, when “all I could get was a salad,” she wrote in a text message. Now, she has a wealth of options from which to choose. Case in point: Maryland Vegan Restaurant Month started last weekend, showcasing plant-based meals at eateries in Baltimore and beyond. You can try curry mung bean soup at Heritage Kitchen in Hampden or a three-course, $50 prix fixe meal at Alma Cocina Latina in Station North that includes a vegan take on Venezuelan pabellón.
