Vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters alike: get excited because a new veggie food station is coming soon to The Edge. The best part? You get to decide the type of cuisine this new food station will serve.

Monday, July 17 – Friday, July 21: Indian Flavors
Monday, July 24 – Friday, July 28: Pacific Rim Flavors

So head on down to the Bay over the next few weeks and indulge once, twice, three times, or more! It’s never a bad time to veg out at The Edge.
