Full disclosure: I'm vegan. That said, the best vegan food I've had, even counting fancy dinner at Green Zebra, is at the Chicago Diner. Their Chicken Fried Steak (I think that's what it's called.) is amazing and really filling. Also, their vegan cheesecake (not the raw, though) is far beyond any others I've tried.

It's clearly one of the best vegetarian restaurants ever with a huge, I am talking huge, menu. I found it hard frankly to choose what I wanted to eat since I'm not used to having such large vegetarian restaurants. If you're a vegetarian, you'll just adore this place.

Also for brunch, check out the vegan french toast or pancakes. Yum, yum, yum! I'm a vegan traveling from Philly and I had multiple... more
