Ben's Chili Bowl

" You really only came here for the history, for the nostalgia (you love Bill Cosby), before or after a show, because let's face it, you probably don't live in the neighborhood, and there aren't very many things on the menu you can actually eat. The homemade veggie chili IS vegan (large a little over $5), with TVP and you can add cheese (for vegetarians) and onions for a little extra. Breakfast is served until around 11, but, given the shop's reputation, it's mostly crowded any time of the day!
