The report ranks NYC as the No. 1 city with the highest percent of restaurants serving vegetarian options and No. 4 in vegan options. Sorry, New Jersey residents -- the report puts Newark at dead last in vegetarian options and second to last for vegans.

NYC also has the most salad shops and juice and smoothie bars per capita than any other city on the list.

Newark and Jersey City sit at the bottom of the vegetable nurseries per capita, which is the only category NYC doesn’t crack the top 5 in.
