A new study by WalletHub sets out to determine the most vegetarian- and vegan-friendly cities across the U.S. To come up with the results, the site analyzed the 100 most populated cities in the country and compared local data related to affordability (average meal cost, price of groceries), diversity (juice and smoothie bars per capita, community gardens per capita, access to fresh vegetarian food) and vegetarian lifestyle (vegetable and fruit consumption, availability of vegetarian and vegan festivals).

We can't say the results are surprising as major metropolitan cities, with eclectically diverse foodie scenes, top the list. Take a look at the top 25 ranking:

1. New York

2. Portland, OR

3. Orlando

4. San Francisco

5. Los Angeles

6. Seattle, WA

7. Washington, D.C.

8. Scottsdale

9. Miami

10. San Diego

11. Anaheim, CA

12. Madison, WI

13. Austin

14. Las Vegas

15. Tampa

16. Buffalo, NY

17. Houston

18. Chesapeake, VA

19. Atlanta

20. An Jose

21. Albuquerque, NM

22. Raleigh, NC

23. Indianapolis

24. Philadelphia

25. Pittsburgh

An in-depth look at the more granular aspects of the study reveals some interesting details. Three Texas cities (San Antonio, Corpus Christi and Houston) boast the lowest coast of groceries for vegetarians in general. New York is home to the highest percentage of restaurants serving vegetarian options, to most juice and smoothie bars per capita and to most salad shops per capita (it shares that ranking with San Francisco and Orlando). Clearly, the Big Apple is where non-carnivores would enjoy dining the most.

In case you were wondering, Greensboro in North Carolina is the least veggie-friendly city in all of the country. Check out the entire study right here.
