HipCityVeg actually has two locations in Philly. The
original restaurant is located at Rittenhouse Square (127 S. 18th Street) while
the more recently opened one is in University City (214 S. 40th St).
I have heard great things about this establishment especially their chicken
ranch sandwich. For lunch one day, I went to the restaurant at Rittenhouse
Square. The place was very busy during lunchtime, but the line went by really
fast. I felt like everyone in front of me ordered a salad, but I was being fat and
got the Chick'n Nuggets and Fries. I
didn’t try their chicken sandwich even though people suggested that I should because I have a bagel for breakfast and didn’t think I should eat any more
bread like carbs. I will definitely come back for their awesome food so don't be
surprise when you see a review for their chicken sandwich.

| Chick'n Nuggets and Fries with Ketchup |
Chick’n Nuggets and Fries came in a compostable box. There
were 5 pieces of chicken and a hand full of sweet potato fries in the box. The
“chicken” looked like real chicken tenders, tasted like real chicken, and had a
comparable texture to chicken but just not as firm. I kept
thinking to myself “is this real meat” the whole time when I was eating the “chicken nuggets”
and second-guessing myself. I think if you didn’t tell someone this
was not really chicken they might actually mistaken it for real chicken. The
“nuggets” were well seasoned and delicious. The sweet potato fries were okay. They were not crispy. They were kind of soggy but they were not oily soggy if that made sense. They were good but didn’t taste
different or spectacularly better than other sweet potato fries I had before.

| Green Lemonade |
The Kale Green Lemonade is made with freshly squeezed lemons
& organic kale juice, lightly sweetened with raw organic agave nectar. The lemonade was very refreshing. It
tasted like sweet lemonade with possibly a hint of kale. To tell you the truth
I don’t really know what kale juice taste like. Is it mostly tasteless? The
green lemonade tasted more like lemonade. Nonetheless it was good.
