What’s Vegan?

Mini reviews of restaurants and their vegan options.

Vegan University City Dining Days

It’s summer, prime time for not wanting to eat in.  With outside eating areas galore and all of the many delicious eateries in Philadelphia dishing up vegan options, everyone is going out to eat.  Tomorrow,  July 17th, the island of University City begins its yearly Dining Days promotion.  For those not familiar with the concept, participating restaurants produce a set menu with a set price ($15-$25 depending on the resturant), similar to Philadelphia Restaurant Week.  This year University City boosts awesome options for us vegans, with the except of dessert…  Enjoy as many nights as you can without hurting your pockets.
