I was a vegan for a very short time in my adult life, and the hardest part for me was going out to eat with friends. While it was a little easier in New York, I found that when I went to visit my family in Minnesota it was difficult to find options when we went out for dinner. I imagine it’s a similar situation for vegetarians depending on where you live. Where do us veggie-lovers have to live in order to get a great meal at a restaurant?

Priceonomics recently went out to find the most (and least) vegetarian-friendly cities in the country. They looked at a couple things, including the cities with the most vegetarian- and vegan-friendly restaurants, and the cities with the most vegetarian- and vegan-friendly restaurants per capita.

Want to see how your city stacks up?

Believe it or not, that kitchen sponge is the dirtiest item in your house. Luckily, there’s an easy way to clean it. It soaks up all sorts of germs that live there happily, as the sponge usually remains slightly damp by the sink — a perfect home for those nasty microorganisms. Take that sponge to the microwave to kill them.

There are countless apple cakes in Germany, but this one, in which a rather plain batter rises up and bakes around sliced apples, has to be one of the most popular. Cakes like these are often called Mittwochskuchen (Wednesday cakes) because they can easily be made during the week when time is short.

Cakes, among other sweet treats, are a hugely important part of German culture. The next step to getting to know someone in Germany isn’t getting together at home for cocktails, like in France, or for dinner, like in the United States, but for cake and coffee on a weekend afternoon. Across the country people still bake tray-size cakes for the Sunday afternoon Kaffeezeit (coffee time) with their friends and family.
