Animal rights charity PETA has released a list of the top ten most vegan-friendly cities in the United States for 2025. Chicago, known for its deep-dish pizza and meaty sandwiches, takes the top spot with options like the Italian Beefless Sandwich at Buona and custom vegan cakes at Alliance Bakery. Philadelphia and Washington follow closely behind, offering a variety of plant-based options from comfort food classics to upscale dishes and craft cocktails.

Other cities making the list include Denver, New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlotte, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York City. Each city offers unique vegan dining experiences, from vegan Southern dishes in Charlotte to a vegan twist on Cajun and Creole cuisine in New Orleans. PETA encourages individuals to explore vegan options in these cities and beyond, emphasizing that it is easy to spare animals and eat well while enjoying delicious vegan cuisine.
