The (Non-Dairy) Cream of the Crop: #1 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
You may not have won the World Series San Francisco, but in the healthy hearts of vegetarians nationwide you are our biggest winner. The Bay Area is the capital of America's vegetarian and vegan revolution! San Francisco and its surrounding cities are home to dozens of vegetarian restaurants and health food stores, numerous veggie groups and the Bay Area Veg Fair. Congratulations San Francisco!
Save your heart in San Francisco by patronizing one or all of at least twenty totally vegetarian restaurants and health food stores-and by choosing meatless options available at almost every popular eatery. Companies like Lumen Foods, maker of faux meat and Stonewall's Jerquee, rave about San Francisco and its surrounds. No surprise that San Francisco has the 2nd lowest heart disease rate in the country. While dot coms bombed and steakhouses went out of business in record numbers, where else but in cutting-edge San Francisco would you find hip vegan eatery Herbivore opening a second restaurant (the grilled eggplant sandwich and lentil loaf with mashed potatoes are the stuff of dreams), while long lines continue to be the hallmark of Millennium restaurant, featuring four-star vegan dining (you won't believe that the chocolate midnight torte is cholesterol free!). In neighboring Larkspur, Roxanne's serves up delectable raw vegan fare, with a two-month wait for Saturday night reservations!
While you are in the Bay Area, visit the other amazing veggie strongholds of Sunnyvale, Santa Cruz and Berkeley where these significantly smaller cities make a strong case to be included as top veg-friendly cities themselves.
