Brick City Vegan Newark (Formerly known as Urban Vegan)

I don’t know how often I’ve rode past this place and never knew it was there. Not to long ago I had a conversation with a resident of Newark who said that their really isn’t any true or factual vegan restaurants in Newark, just some that offer vegan or vegetarian options. I was in Newark on business and a friend said let’s do lunch while I was there. She found Urban Vegan on google maps. The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is the smell of green vegetables. A very clean healthy fragrance you’ll never get in a restaurant that cooks meat. Being a close observer I noticed in the rear of the place a food prep area that was very clean. Your meal and beverages are prepared behind the register and it was very clean also, and they were busy at the time. If you dine in they bring your food to your table. My friend who is known to throw back some chicken or a burger was totally surprised that vegan food was so delicious. She was outdone. I had the black eyed pea burger and all the trimmings were fresh, cool and crunchy. They offer a smoothie named Forever Young that I didn’t taste until we were back in the car. I would’ve purchase a liter of that delicious beverage if I had tasted it in the restaurant. It’s my official vegan joint when I’m in Newark. Even if I just grab a Forever young smoothie. Oh, I almost forgot, the bathroom was very clean, almost sterile. #vegan #googlemaps #newarknj #sankofatafari #kingofcoffeenyc #kingofmarijuananyc #nyc
