I must say that I'm blessed that I decided to transition to vegetarianism in LA. There are really SO many vegetarian / vegan options pretty much anywhere because it's a lifestyle out here. Pretty wonderful how veggie life is normalized. But to be honest, I've mostly been eating in because it's so much cheaper to prepare your own veggie meals at home!
This is by no means a comprehensive list of places offering veg options, because that is truly endless out here - most menus are quite accommodating with at least an option or two for the herbivores. This is merely a glimpse of where I've been eating out and hopefully to provide you with some inspiration of including more plant based foods in your life. Sometimes you have to be creative, but other times the eateries are innovative for you.
Spoiler alert: all I eat are sandwiches and Asian food
