Sticking to a diet, especially when you are away from home traveling, is often difficult, particularly if you are a vegetarian or vegan. The options just aren’t the same.
Now you can be more informed.
With October 1 being World Vegetarian Day and November 1 being World Vegan Day, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2024’s Best Cities for Vegans & Vegetarians, as well as expert commentary, to identify the places that make a switch to a plant-based diet easiest.
WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities across 17 key indicators of vegan- and vegetarian-friendliness to determine the best and cheapest places for a plant-based diet. The data set ranges from the share of restaurants serving meatless options to the cost of groceries for vegetarians to the number of salad shops per capita.
That seems to be a pretty thorough criterion.
Topping the list of cities having the best vegetarian and vegan options is Los Angeles, followed by Orlando, Portland Oregon, San Diego, Seattle, Austin, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, Phoenix, Tampa, New York City, Washington DC, Oakland, Las Vegas, Chicago, Madison, Houston, Sacramento and San Antonio.
Scottsdale, Arizona, has more than 12 times the number of vegan options as the worst city, Laredo, TX.
“Los Angeles also has the second-highest number of affordable restaurants with vegan and vegetarian options that have at least 4.5 stars on Yelp. L.A. also has the ninth-most farmers markets, 11th-most organic farms, 12th-most community gardens and 19th-most vegetable nurseries and gardening shops per capita,” said Chip Lupo, WalletHub Analyst.

When you’re traveling on a plane, a truly big coat can make getting yourself through security and squeezing yourself into ever-shrinking basic economy plane seats a real hassle.
