Chicago ranked 2nd-best city for vegan travelers

Deep dish pizza and hot dogs are staples in Chicago’s food culture, but a new study has set those aside and still flared the city’s culinary scene as one of the best in the nation.

Chicago was ranked the second-best city for vegan travelers in a recent report by InsureMyTrip after the company examined the number of vegan restaurants in a city, affordability and Google reviews.

New York City topped the list, with Los Angeles rounding out the top three, Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas finishing fourth and fifth.

The study by InsureMyTrip also highlighted Chicago’s food options from local farmers markets, saying the city has the second-best option for local produce behind Washington, D.C. It also noted Chicago’s 64 “low-cost” restaurants, which was the second-most, behind New York’s 93.
