Foodery on Ridge: Vegan-friendly and booze-friendly
A large part of the purpose of V for Vegan is to spread the word about vegan finds, large or small, in the Philly area. One that I was reminded about yesterday is the Foodery in Roxborough (6148 Ridge Ave., 215-482-4500 ).
Keeping it local -- nobody can argue with that. And not just for the "sustainable" angle -- you'll appreciate it when you need to grab some food/drink fast, say, in the face of an impending snowstorm!
Now, this is a convenience store, so the total number of items isn't huge, but even the big supermarkets a few blocks away on either side (Acme and Shop-Rite) don't have the range of brands within this section, including stuff like Dr. Praeger's vegetable-righ veggie burgers. But Kim promises "more to come," and wants customers (and potential customers) to feel free to suggest new items on the store's Facebook page.
V for Vegan applauds this development, though we know there are other places around town that are doing likewise, making plant-based food offerings ever more accessible and convenient. Let me know of your own neighborhood faves, big or small!
