Legend member crowdfunds vegan restaurant in Reykjavik! 4 days to go!
Krummi Björgvinsson from the excellent Iceland based act Legend is crowd-funding a restaurant in Reykjavik together with 2 other partners (Linnea Hellström being a vegan chef from Sweden and vegan artist/painter/rapper Örn Tönsberg).
You can find the crowdfunding campaign right here, do check out the perks there are some really cool ones! But do hurry, there are only 4 days left!
With their restaurant, to be called Veganæsing, the trio wants “to lay down some new ground for the new wave of other vegans in Iceland, as well as cater to the steadily increasing stream of tourists coming through here looking for plant based treats.” That’s clear as a mission statement. Automatically they also hope to get non vegans into their seats as well, so even non full time vegans are more than welcome. One of the trio’s long time wishes is doing weekend brunches with live music.
They plan to open the restaurant inside of Gaukur á Stöng or Gaukurinn, one of the oldest live music venues in Reykjavik and one of the first bars to serve beer after the prohibition ended in 1989.
Here’s the video they made for the crowdfunding campaign.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
