On the premiere episode of Emergency Drinks, host Diana Edelman brings on friend Tamar Arslanian to discuss life as a single woman with no children living in NYC and the choice not to have children. Or was it a choice? The two delve into the realities of not having children -- both good and bad -- and share some shocking statistics about both having and not having children.
Tamar Arslanian is the founder of Flirting with Vegan, a NYC-based vegan food tour business. Somewhat ironically, Tamar became a vegetarian because of her cats (obligate carnivores). The arbitrary nature of animals we eat versus those we keep as pets hit her one evening while enjoying rabbit ragu at a popular West Village restaurant. It dawned on her mid-bite that her cherubic cat Petie was only two floppy ears and a cotton ball tail away from being ragu himself. She wrote about her awakening on her blog I HAVE CAT, single in the city with cats. Her blog caught the attention of an agent and resulted in her book “Shops Cats of New York,” published by HarperCollins. All along while working in the dog eat dog world of New York City advertising. Tamar is a 20+ year resident of Manhattan and shares her home with her three rescue cats Haddie, Gus and Houdini and a rotating cast of foster cats.
