Link to the actual post here.
Quite surprised with one of the results.

Vegetarian-Friendly Cities
The top 5 winners according to your votes are...


New York City

#1 New York City, USA

The ultra-hip city that never sleeps offers an array of international mix in vegetarian food... cafes, bistros, diners, gourmet restaurants, and bakeries as diverse as its inhabitants! Eat on the cheap or dine extravagantly, NYC offers exotic and abundant choices for veggie eaters. Gotta love The Big Apple.

#2 San Francisco , USA
Wonder why young and old progressives meet and stay here? Beautiful weather with hilly streets offering glimpses of downtown, the bay and its famous bridges, San Francisco boasts dozens of cozy cafes, trendy vegetarian restaurants, and health food stores that offer raw, vegan, vegetarian, and vegetarian-friendly fare. Eating is easy here, and so is getting around by public transit, bicycle, or by foot.

#3 London, England
Since the outbreak of mad cow disease in the early 2000s, more people are converting to vegetarianism, and new London vegetarian restaurants are born each week! Check out what kinds of veg*n fare the English are serving up.

#4 Singapore
HappyCow lists nearly one hundred vegetarian and vegan restaurants serving a variety of Asian & Chinese cuisine! Check out the list for yourself!

#5 Seattle, USA
Christened "The Emerald City," Seattle is known as one of the most livable cities in the world. Surrounded by lakes, rivers, and mountains, it is also a recreation enthusiasts' dream. With over 30 places to find something to eat, vegetarians can easily explore without starving.

And the Runner-ups are…

Vancouver, Canada
Serving affordable Chinese, Indian, and international vegetarian foods & organic markets!

Taipei, Taiwan
A Buddhist country with many inexpensive vegan buffet-style dining facilities serving up to 100 different options. Taiwan is famous for its offerings of mock meats varieties.

And HappyCow's Pick is…

Taichung, Taiwan
Easier to navigate around than the capital city of Taipei, Taiwan's moderate size makes it easy to get around by bicycle, scooter, or bus. Hands-down a haven for vegetarians and vegans -- you will find a vegetarian restaurant or food stall on just about every street in town!


...well, did your city make the list?
