Confession time: I could never go vegan.
It's not because I don't care about animal rights (I do) or because I can't cook well enough to get creative with my meal planning (I could). Instead, I could never go vegan because I'd miss cheeseburgers.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is that savory fast food treat that I'd miss too much to even consider trying an all plant-based diet. However, that isn't to say that I can't try a meal or two that are totally vegan, and that's how I found myself at the hippest new fast food restaurant, By Chloe.
Stylized as "by CHLOE," this restaurant was first opened in the West Village as the answer to greasy fast food joints that never offered any vegetarian or vegan options.
Instead of slinging burgers and fries, By Chloe serves healthier options such as black bean burgers, sweet potato fries that are air fried, and fresh pasta. Salads are available for people looking to go the more traditional vegan route, and unique offerings like bacon mac-and-cheese (with vegan bacon) are also served for those who are looking to try something new. The restaurants and the food itself are totally Insta-worthy, and you've probably seen some snapshots of the offerings online.
My own experience at By Chloe was one I'd love to repeat: the food was great, the aesthetic fun, and the restaurant--though busy--is a place that I'd love to return to. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a healthy fast-food alternative or just someone who wants to have a burger--albeit a healthy one!
