]]> As vegan and plant-based diets continue to trend, more and more cities have begun increasing their plant-based markets by opening up cafes and restaurants that are vegan or vegan friendly. Certain cities in the US are known for having some of the vegan culinary experiences in the world. Keep reading for three cities you should visit if you’re traveling as a vegan.

Los Angeles

LA is more than just Hollywood. The city is a vast and diverse place offering up some of the finest and unique culinary scenes. The health food scene, particularly vegan and plant-based culture is rampant making this city notorious for some of the best vegan and plant based friendly places. You should definitely add LA to your travel plans if you’re looking to eat well as a vegan!

New York City

NYC is home to many, especially a unique and diverse foodie’s scene. This makes being vegan a total foodie adventure. Many restaurants take plant based to the next level offering up creative and inspired menus that make being vegan a whole new world. We recommend Anixi for a Middle Eastern vegan excursion.

Miami

Miami is a wonderful place to visit for that ultimate beach vacation you’ve been dreaming about. Health food and vegan food is big in this city, so you will find no shortage of vegan menus around here!

]]> Going out to eat is twice as fun if the place looks good in your photos, don’t you think? While great food and drinks are a must, the restaurant’s interior can be just as equally important. Here are the most “instagrammable” places in NYC where you can go for tasty food and great photos.

The Fulton

The Fulton is located in the Seaport District, with an amazing view of the Brooklyn Bridge. The open-air patio is a perfect location for brunch, lunch, or dinner. The rich menu offers dishes like King Crab Lettuce Cups with Avocado and Yuzu and Longevity Noodles with Glazed Maine Lobster.

Gia

Newly opened Gia is already a go-to place in the Noho neighborhood. It has a rustic Italian vibe that will make you feel like you’re on a beach as you’re tasting Octopus with Lardo, Squid Ink Spaghetti, and Benton’s ham and bottarga.

Miss Lily

Miss Lily is a famous place with two downtown locations, in SoHo and the East Village. It opened in 2011 and has since been a popular place to stop by and grab a bite with friends. Their Jerk Ramen is famous and looks amazing when photographed! They serve brunch from 11 am to 5 pm every weekend, so don’t miss it.

Her website also offers recipes and at-home content, in light of the pandemic. A recent blog post explains how to make your grocery store run count. “When COVID happened, we were limited to the things we could do and places we could go to, and one of those places we could go to was the grocery store,” writes Tubbs.

“All these years of strategic grocery shopping finally came in handy,” she adds, sharing her favorite grocery store locations in New York City and other tips you can use regardless of where you live.

“You need to be strategic about your grocery list and have a plan,” stresses Tubbs. “I make my list the day before I go grocery shopping to take inventory of what I need, what is low, and what am I making for dinner for the next week or two. Doing this will eliminate extra trips.”
