Pittsburgh PA always gets the shaft on list such as these, but not only are we tops onthe list of “green” building (based on square footage) in the entire US we also have an awsome local foods movement, tough to do when your growing season is approximately 50 days. Check out big Burrito restaurant group http://www.bigburrito.com/
who sources local foods at all their cafes, upscale and casual and 6 Penn Kitchen http://www.sixpennkitchen.com
owned by the Eat N’ Park Corporation or Bona Terra is Sharpsburg, PA.

I wish ANY of these restaurants were near me. I’m a raw vegan, so it’s tough for me to find any type of decent restaurant near my home (upstate NY). “Green looks Great!!!!!”

Wow. This list is spottier and with bigger gaping holes and oversights than my mobile phone coverage in Alaska…

hi Susan, great article. The menu at Terrene changes frequently, it’s hard to pick a fave. But they always have some kind of seasonal flatbread appetizer which I always order as it’s very good. I’ve had delicious fish dishes and salads there too.

When I am in St. Louis, I always visit Terrene, located in the Central West End neighborhood – they have an inventive, sustainable, locally sourced menu which changes daily depending on what is available. Great service and a nice wine list too. http://www.terrene-stlouis.com/

You guys missed Watercourse Foods in Denver!

“For the past 10 years WaterCourse Foods and WaterCourse Foods Bakery has enjoyed local, national and international acclaim for its lovingly prepared vegetarian comfort food and sumptuous baked goods.”

The Uptown location is probably the most popular restaurant in the Capitol Hill neighborhood for vegetarians and vegans alike. On any given night, there’s a 10 minute wait, sometimes longer.

I am Canadian but I went to Arizona, and there are a few places there that are pretty good. Some excellent organic fair-trade coffee shops in Phoenix and Tempe, though I don’t remember their names. Lux strikes me as one of them I believe. Also, in Sedona we ate at this place called D’Lish, it’s an organic vegetarian resto. I’m Canadian so the portion sizes were huge, and cheap, but this might just be standard across America so I’ve heard. Big servings and it’s very healthy because you have a gigantic plate of salad and surprisingly you get full from just that! I think they may also charge you $2 if you don’t finish your food, which is great in my opinion! (or maybe that was somewhere else I went…)
