Flaming Amys Burrito Barn, (910) 799-2919, 4002 Oleander Dr, Wilmington, NC 28403, www.flamingamysburritobarn.com- Amazing burritos! Super vegan friendly (get tofu on anything), 8 or so kinds of awesome salsa, and good atmosphere. Carnivores and vegans alike will love this place. Go on Tuesdays and get 10% off if you show your tattoo, or get 10% off any day with a student ID.

Nikki's Fresh Gourmet - 16 S Front St, Wilmington, 28401 - (910) 772-9151- They now say they are first and foremost a sushi bar, but don't let that fool you-- you can get tofu burgers, falafel, salads, soups, and more here. The onion rings and tempura are vegan, the miso soup is not (it has fish base in it).

Soapbox Laundro Lounge- 255 N Front St, Wilmington, 28401 - (910) 251-8500 (soapboxlaundrolounge.com)- This is where most of the shows in Wilmington are these days.
