Portland


In a city where everything is weird and artisanal, vegans and vegetarians will feel right at home given the range of lifestyle options. You’ll find a Vegan mini mall,  an apothecary specializing in vegan and ethically sourced soaps and skin care products, and even a vegan strip club. When you’re in PDX, be sure to take a photo under the “Keep Portland Weird” mural (pictured), which is located at the corner of SW 3rd Ave and West Burnside Street.

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.
