BrooklynVegan is an American online music magazine founded in 2004 by David Levine.[1][2] The company is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, and originally focused on vegan food and the music community in and around New York City, before broadening its scope to covering musical artists and events worldwide.[1] Since 2011, BrooklynVegan operates two subsidiaries dedicated to other cites: BV Chicago, which serves Chicago, Illinois; and BV Austin, which serves Austin, Texas.[3]

In 2013, BrooklynVegan acquired German-American webzine Invisible Oranges, moving its headquarters to the United States.[4] In 2015, BrooklynVegan and its subsidiaries became affiliates of Townsquare Media.[5][6] In 2021, BrooklynVegan and its subsidiaries were bought out by Project M Group.[7][8]
