Veggie Galaxy
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Veggie Galaxy is a diner-style vegetarian restaurant located in the Central Square section of Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1]
Key Information
The establishment was founded by Adam Penn in 2011 after his first vegetarian restaurant, Veggie Planet in Harvard Square, had operated for more than ten years.[2] Veggie Galaxy has been credited in Boston Magazine as “the Best of Boston for Vegetarian Restaurants”[3]
The restaurant is inspired by classic diner and vegetarian cuisine and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The fact that they don't serve any meat or seafood should be considered a "footnote".[4] Veggie Galaxy is mainly concerned with serving full-flavored, balanced dishes that are pleasing to vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores alike.
History
[edit]The diner opened for business on September 5, 2011.
In July 2018, Veggie Galaxy's Portobello Melt sandwich was mentioned in Marvel Comics Astonishing X-Men by the character Beast.[5]
In October 2019, the diner was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Season 30, Episode 16),[6] during which host Guy Fieri stated, "This needs to go places. People need to have this in their town."
Media awards
[edit]Veggie Galaxy has earned numerous awards and prizes since opening.
