Vegan in and around Philly

Last week was my birthday and this month marks the year anniversary that I began the journey of vegan living. What do these two things have in common? Birthday dinner at Thai L'Elphant' in Phoenixville, PA!

I don't know if you recall, but last year the Philly region had some major winter storms. This resulted in slow business for my husband and I so we started to catch up on some Netflix documentaries. Long story short, I became vegan. It wasn't cold turkey, it was a transition.  And even my husband started the transition with me! (note the word- started). It's been an amazing journey and I plan to stick with it for the rest of my life.

One of the "down sides" about being animal free is eating out. I LOVE eating out. I LOVE food and trying new places. Going out has not been as enjoyable over the last year since I'm limited to salads, fries and sometimes vegetable sandwiches- which I'm sure in reality aren't even vegan. So imagine my joy when my husband and a couple friend of ours (vegetarian too which is helpful) took me out to Thai L'Eplant' which has a 2 page vegan menu!  I was happily overwhelmed with options to choose from!

Here's just a little snippet of their menu:

On top of the number of options, my food was actually good! Looking forward to going back soon :)

One of the fun things about changing your diet is you get to explore new places and new menu items. So needless to say, we still actually do go out a fair amount, but our choices are limited.

Phoenixville has grown so much over the years. They have such a diverse dining and bar scene which is probably why it just keeps getting built up and more in demand!


If you're looking to move to Phoenixville or maybe buy an investment (because that is certainly in demand right now too!)- here is a great house that is currently for sale. Check out the virtual tour: http://1902irisct.eproptours.com/tour/play.htm
