There are many benefits to being a vegetarian, but there are some issues that come with it. Eating at a friend’s house, getting enough protein, getting numerous questions about your lifestyle, and eating out can all be factors when it comes to your vegetarian lifestyle.
With some locations, it can be a nightmare to live a meatless lifestyle, but there are some that can be a total paradise. We’ve narrowed it down to 10 cities in America where it’s a breeze to be vegetarian.
1. Portland, Oregon
This city has a long list of vegetarian and vegan-friendly establishments, from bed-and-breakfasts to a-la-carte restaurants. This city also has the world’s first-ever (and only) all-vegan strip mall. When in Portland, you might want to stop at Natural Selection, a European-style restaurant built on vegetables, fruits, and grains, featuring finely crafted meals paired with choice wines and spirits. Plus, their menu changes weekly so eating meat-free dishes is more exciting at this particular restaurant.
2. New York, New York
Are you aware that the chances of stumbling into a vegetarian restaurant are highest when you are in New York? It’s no secret that restaurants in the city that never sleep are diverse. Some restaurants serve raw dishes, others have farm-to-table dishes, while still others prefer a mix of the two, resulting in such a creative and delectable dish. For starters, you can try Candle Cafe or Dirt Candy.
3. Los Angeles, California
In the city of the stars you will not have any problems finding restaurants offering vegetarian dishes. The only problem you’ll face is the presence of too much paparazzi!

4. San Francisco, California
Of course, if you don’t feel like going to the city of the stars but still want to go to vegan paradise in California–visit SF.
