On the Road to North America’s Most Vegetarian-Friendly Cities

Planning a trip but don’t know where to vegan? We suggest that you start off with something that’s full of flavor and made to order for traveling vegetarians—our list of the best vegetarian-friendly cities in the United States and Canada!

As the popularity of animal-friendly eating continues to grow, more and more restaurants are offering great-tasting vegetarian options. If the destination that you had your heart set on didn’t make the list, don’t fear—these days, any restaurant worth its salt offers vegetarian meals, and online guides such as VegGuide.org, VegDining.com and HappyCow.net can help you find the best places to dine wherever you are. Plus, many of the top chain restaurants and fast-food establishments are offering terrific vegetarian selections, so you can enjoy cruelty-free foods anywhere you go.

Now that we’ve got dinners taken care of while you’re away, what about your dog? Before you decide whether to take Fido with you, try to see your vacation from your companion animal’s point of view. Will the trip be fun for your furry friend, or will he or she be cooped up in a hotel room while you’re sunning on the beach or riding roller coasters? If your dog is better off being left behind, find a reputable companion-animal sitter to take care of him or her while you are away. If your pup is up for an adventure with you, make sure that you’re prepared for getting there with your dog and staying there with your dog at an animal-friendly hotel or bed and breakfast.

And last but not least—don’t forget to pack your taste buds when you munch, lunch, and nosh your way through North America! If you think that we overlooked a deserving city, or if you used our list to go on the ultimate vegetarian road trip, please let us know about it. Bon voyage and bon appétit!
