Vegan Guide to Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the vegan capital of the United States, with a plant-based scene that stretches from upscale West Hollywood to the diverse food trucks of East LA. The year-round sunshine fuels an incredible produce scene, and celebrity-backed vegan restaurants have helped push plant-based dining into the mainstream. LA is where vegan comfort food was arguably perfected.
