Kingdom of Vegetarians Restaurant
The only reason you need to go to Philly: Kingdom of Vegetarians Restaurant. Of course there are some other draws including, Tara, Heather, Fresh Prince, Adrian Greiner from HGTV (I saw him at brunch), great architecture, WAWA, “This is America when ordering speak English”, brotherly love, Irish Obama supporters, do not block the box, murals, tomato peach pie, librarians, comedians, vegan everything, West Elm bamboo blankets, Rocky, and a whole lot of history.
Kingdom of Vegetarians Restaurant (Kingdom) owner is my hero. Although I gave my 17 years of vegetarianism away to a premeditated bite of salmon at Luna in October 2007 (followed by a 2oz fillet minion at Churchill’s in November 2007), Kingdom could make a vegetarian out of any meat eater. For $12.00 all you can eat vegan dim sum will cover your table and you will be shocked by a. the quality b. the taste and c. the fact that absolutely everything is vegan EVERYTHING. The draw backs of Kingdom, well lets just say I can’t stand keffiyeh wearing hipsters, if you are going to wear one put it on your head and know what you are representing – anyway – they still support Kingdom and that of course is the ultimate goal.
Take a look at the fabulous food of Kingdom of Vegetarians. It is so great I even purchased a very ugly t-shirt just to support my hero. Jump on a plane, take a train, or run to Kingdom, but however you get there hurry it will be the best thing that has ever happened to you – ever.
