Nicole Marquis opened the first HipCityVeg in Philadelphia in 2012, near Rittenhouse Square, and the brand became a fixture of the city's plant based scene. The Ziggy Burger with smoky tempeh bacon and the crispy Chick'n Sandwich carry the menu, alongside sweet potato fries, milkshakes and a groundnut stew style bowl. Ingredients skew toward whole foods, and the packaging is compostable, a policy held since the early days.
Several Philadelphia sites plus locations in Washington, D.C., so this is a city chain rather than a national one. Works well for a fast lunch when the office crowd wants something less greasy than a burger window. The kitchens are small, delivery orders can slow the counter at midday, and the menu rarely surprises regulars.
