Was out and about this weekend having a bite at Serafina at 10 Rittenhouse when we noticed HipCityVeg across the street. Here’s a description from Citypaper:
Huge coup for vegetation-minded Center Citizens: Former Horizons GM Nicole Marquis opened her vegan fast-food joint Hip City Veg (127 S. 18th St., 215-278-7605) in the old Pad Thai Shack yesterday. Steering clear of overt vegan propaganda and preachitude, Marquis’ aim with Hip City is to provide a “100 percent plant-based” experience “familiar to meat eaters, without sacrificing affordability or taste.” Her chef, Lauren Hooks, is knocking out a menu with populist appeal — think the “Ziggy” burger, a meatless riff on the Big Mac (yes, with “special sauce”), a crispy “chick’n” sandwich that plays off that popular fast-food option, and salads of the Caribbean, Asian and Mediterranean persuasions, all made with local ingredients. (Those bananas don’t count.) That thoughtful approach extends into realms like packaging (compostable) and delivery (by bicycle, Spring Garden to Washington north to south and Front to the bridge east to west).
By all accounts HipCityVeg has been mobbed since opening a few weeks ago! While googling for this post I realized that JT Christensen from Studio: Christensen handled the interior design at HipCityVeg. JT helped us with our dining room furniture and he has a top notch studio near 20th and Delancey in Rittenhouse Square. Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood!
