V Street

Top choice in Philadelphia


Street food from around the world is the influence for the fab vegan menu here. Make sure you sample the delicious dan dan noodles, in which the spices are not dialed down; you will break out in a sweat in a good way. There are plenty of counter seats for single diners.

V Street is managed by the same team behind Vedge; they also operate the Wiz Kid cafe next door, serving vegan versions of cheesesteak sandwiches.
