New York City


New Yorkers don’t mess around when it comes to food. Why should they? There’s an endless supply of dining options on every corner across the metropolis. And on top of that, this city hosts an annual “Vegetarian Food Festival” each May -- a delicious celebration of meatless eating and green lifestyles.  Don’t miss out on your chance at an NYC tradition -- eating dim sum in Chinatown. Check out one of favorite vegetarian dim sum spots, Buddha Bodai.

There was a time not long ago when being a vegan traveler meant you packed nuts and granola in your suitcase, and you’d be forced to settle for a side salad and fries when dining out.

Today, the idea of going meat-free has taken hold of destinations all over the globe.  Some cities have truly managed to cultivate a culture of sustainability for all their citizens, supporting a better-for-the-earth lifestyle that goes beyond local farmers’ markets and vegetarian-friendly restaurants. Check out some of the best vegan-friendly cities here.
