Uptown Veg is a cozy spot serving up hearty vegan comfort food by weight, from savory soy chicken to zingy juices, all with a welcoming vibe.
"Uptown Veg has been feeding upper Manhattan’s vegan population since the '90s. Since then, the father-daughter duo behind the place has opened a second Harlem location and a third in Bed-Stuy, both of which focus on salads and juice. The original spot sells everything from plant-based chicken curry to Philly cheesesteaks that we find ourselves wanting to order even on our meat-eating days. The longtime Harlem business also serves the local unhoused community every night, seven days a week. " - neha talreja, nikko duren, kenny yang
"If you’re looking for juice, smoothies, and vegan food like soy chicken sandwiches and curry chickpeas, you can pick up food at Uptown Veg and then eat it at one of their tables in front." - hannah albertine
