What better way to kick off the summer than to pack up the car and hit the road for a
food-filled adventure! We’re planning an epic East Coast excursion from the Big Apple to Magic City
and hitting up all the must-visit vegan hot spots in between. See you on the road!New York, NY
Start off your trip at Orchard Grocer, an all-
vegan deli and market to load up on snacks
(everything from jerkies to vegan M&Ms to
cracklins), a sandwich for the road (the beet-
brined seitan reuben slays), and a cashew-
based soft-serve swirl with salty caramel drizzle
to get this road trip off on the right foot.Philadelphia, PA
Your second stop has to include a meal at
Bar Bombón, a plant-based Puerto Rican
hangout. Go for brunch and tuck into the
Spanish Meatballs with romesco, garlicky-
cilantro sauce, and grilled herbed bread,
all washed down with a Michelada cocktail
finished with a mezcal mist.Washington, DC
As you make your way out of the Northeast,
swing by the 100-percent vegan Asian fast-
casual Pow Pow to fuel up with the Wu-Banger
bowl—orange chicken, feta, mandarin oranges,
sriracha cashews, and crispy rice. Be sure
to throw in a to-go order of Taiwanese fried
mozzarella croquettes with Korean ketchup.Charlotte, NC
Feed your soul and your appetite at vegan soul
food joint Veltree. Can’t choose between saucy
jerk chicken served with stewed kale and yams,
buttery vegan shrimp scampi, or biscuits and
steak gravy? Try one and get the other two
to-go for the last leg of your trip.Miami, FL
End your vacay in Miami’s Midtown at GLAM
Vegan where you can grab a table outside and
enjoy a ginger-lemon kombucha and a fresh
Hawaiian Poke salad made with marinated
beets, quinoa, pineapple, avocado, black
sesame, and yuzu vinaigrette. Then there’s
nothing left to do but hit the beach!GLAM^ Vegan20
