Vegan USA: Plant-Based Food Guide

American cuisine has more naturally vegan dishes than most travellers expect: succotash, three sisters stew (corn, beans, and squash), roasted sweet potatoes, and the beans-and-rice combinations running through Southern, Tex-Mex, and Caribbean-American cooking. Portland, Oregon consistently ranks as the most plant-based city in the country, with more dedicated vegan restaurants per capita than anywhere else, while Los Angeles and New York each offer thousands of options across wildly different neighbourhoods and price points. The US plant-based market has grown faster than almost any other food category over the past decade, and today even mainstream fast-food chains, airport terminals, and mid-sized cities carry far more vegan choices than they did five years ago. We map the best of it: city by city.
