Nicky's of Beverly Celebrates World Vegan Day, November 1

Nicky’s of Beverly will celebrate World Vegan Day on Sunday, November 1, by donating a portion of proceeds from its vegan menu items to Cruelty Free You + Me, a Chicagoland-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating a more compassionate world through education, community engagement and plant-based initiatives. Founded in 2020, the organization focuses on teaching children and families about kindness toward animals, the environment and one another.

Known for its take on Chicago street food, Nicky’s has embraced plant-based dining with an expansive selection of vegan and vegetarian offerings, including a dedicated vegan section of its grill and a fryer reserved for non-meat items. Menu highlights include the Vegan Shrimp Po Boy, featuring vegan jumbo shrimp, remoulade, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles on French bread; Vegan Nachos with Beyond Meat crumbles, vegan nacho cheese and jalapeños; Veggie Big Baby, a plant-based take on Nicky’s signature burger featuring two Beyond Meat patties; Vegan Banh Mi with shredded vegan beef, pickled vegetables and spicy vegan mayo; and Vegan Falafel Sandwich with tahini and fresh vegetables on warm pita. Additional offerings include vegan chicken tenders, salads, tacos and plant-based gelato shakes.
