Sushi, Tacos, Pizza and Brisket: Check Out Montclair’s Creative Plant-Based Offerings This Month

We’re halfway through the second annual “Plant-Based for the Planet” month and Montclair’s participating restaurants have really stepped up to the plate! They are offering innovative and delicious meat-free meals you won’t want to miss out on. 

Planted Society, Humane Montclair and the Montclair Township Office of Sustainability are co-sponsors of the month-long initiative. It’s a great opportunity to try out some great plant-based dishes and reduce your environmental impact. Plus, it supports local restaurants. A win win!

Here are some highlights:
