Step into this cozy spot for inventive vegan takes on global street food, where spicy small plates and creative cocktails steal the show.
"If Vedge is the class valedictorian that never steps out of line, V Street is its little sister who stays out past curfew and still somehow still gets an A on their test the next day. It’s mostly a bar with small street food plates, and everything on the menu is under $15, but it’s all so good that you’ll forget you only originally came here to please your vegan friend with five different food allergies. Some of our favorite things are the miso butter noodles with nori, pickled ginger, and gochugaru, and the trumpet mushroom shawarma, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu." - Sydney McElwee
"V Street, a vegan restaurant in Rittenhouse, started as a cocktail bar and later included the lunch spot Wiz Kid. It was known for its inventive cocktails and a menu featuring spicy, globally inspired dishes. The restaurant merged with Wiz Kid in 2019 to serve sandwiches during the day and V Street’s signature dishes at night. It is permanently closed as announced by owners Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby." - Rachel Vigoda
"V Street, a vegan cocktail bar from the Vedge team, is permanently closed." - Rachel Vigoda
"Owners Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby merged the location with neighboring (also vegan) restaurant V Street three months ago, Philly.com reports, primarily out of necessity. According to Landau, V Street was simply not large enough to meet the demand of clientele. V Street is now formally operating out of 126 S. 19th St and 124 S 19th Street (the latter of which was once the Wiz Kid space). V Street will serve offerings from Wiz Kid's vegan salad and sandwich menu at lunch. V Street, which was once solely open during evenings and for weekend brunch, is now open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for lunch service on weekdays." - Audrey Carleton
"Another Vedge selection slated to make an appearance is whole roasted carrots with pumpernickel and sauerkraut puree. V Street’s street food-style fare, some of which Landau says is 'too spicy and bold' for Vedge’s menu, will also be served at Fancy Radish." - Tierney Plumb
