By going vegan, you will save more than 100 animals each year! Watch this video to see the cruelty that you will be helping to stop.

There are usually vegan options no matter where you are—a restaurant, a friend's house, or on the road. You just have to know what to look (and ask!) for. Here are some pointers to help you eat vegan when you're away from home:
  • At a restaurant:

    There are vegan and vegetarian restaurants around the country, but you can also find plenty of vegan options at restaurants that serve meat. Check out our list of chain restaurants that are serving up meat-free meals. Don't worry if your favorite spot is not on the list. Just ask the waiter what vegan options are offered, and most restaurants will accommodate you—even a steakhouse!
  • At a friend's house:

    Get involved! Call ahead of time and ask your friend what is on the menu. Offer to help make it vegan or bring a tantalizing vegan dish to share.

    On the road:

    When traveling, arm yourself with an app that will help you find the closest vegan or vegetarian restaurant. One of our favorites is the Happy Cow app.



    Mexican restaurants typically offer vegan burritos, salads, fajitas, and more! At Moe's, you can order the Art Vandalay—a burrito loaded with tofu, rice, beans, and toppings of your choice (pictured here)—without cheese or sour cream or one of their meat-free burrito bowls. And at Chipotle, try the vegetarian black-bean burrito or burrito bowl.

    At stadiums and ballparks, you can now find a wide variety of vegan dishes that are perfect for eating in the stands. Dodger Stadium and the Georgia Dome are just a couple of the places where you can chow down on the Sloppy Jane (tempeh, peppers, and onions with molasses and brown-sugar barbecue sauce) seen here, among many other wonderful options.

    Asian cuisines offer a wide variety of choices for the hungry vegan! Most Chinese restaurants will let you substitute tofu in any of their entrĂ©es to create a vegan dish, and many feature a large selection of mock meats. 

    Denny’s, Red Robin, and Johnny Rockets all offer mouthwatering vegan burgers. When dining at the retro diner Johnny Rockets, try the delicious Streamliner—a vegan burger topped with grilled onions, shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, pickles, and mustard (pictured here).

    Seafood restaurants commonly offer a pasta dish topped with cream sauce and meat. Ask your server to veganize it by tossing your pasta in garlic and olive oil and adding any veggies that the kitchen has on hand.
