Where do vegetarians find good food when traveling?
It can be quite a challenge to find healthy, vegetarian food choices in a small town. Even larger towns or cities sometimes have nothing to offer beyond fast food. Thank goodness for Subway and QDoba. Otherwise the fast food choices become pretty grim and you end up piecing together a “meal” of side dishes: greasy grilled cheese or breakfast eggs all day long. And as much as we like Subway and QDoba when we’re traveling, we find that we often just really want to sit down in a restaurant/café and eat some hearty, quality food. 
Recently when traveling to Sheboygan, we approached the lunch hour with no easily spotted prospects for food. Then we happened upon a food co-op, the Goodside Grocery, and decided to run inside to ask where they’d recommend we go for lunch. Thanks to this quick stop, we ended up at Paradigm (see later post for review) and had a wonderful meal in a fantastic atmosphere.
Tip 1: Asking the locals where to eat can lead to wonderful discoveries. If you have specific dietary needs, like vegetarianism, finding a co-op/health food store or funky little coffee shop to inquire within usually results in some good recommendations.
Tip 2: Asking the locals also leads to interesting conversations! Don’t be afraid to say ‘Hello!”
[…] consider stopping in downtown Sheboygan for their art gallery (see post coming soon!) and awesome vegetarian food . Or venture closer to the water and enjoy access to one of the public beaches for an afternoon […]
