If you're a vegetarian, there's not much incentive to go to Johnny Rockets (443 South St., 215-829-9222). It deals largely in meat stuffs supplemented by artery-unfriendly greasy-spoon fare. And who isn't just a little terrified by the dancing waitstaff?

In a curious partnership, the nationwide chain is teaming up with PETA to celebrate World Vegetarian Week. Buy any sandwich or starter and a drink at Johnny Rockets between May 19 and May 25 and you're eligible for a free Streamliner — that's a veggie burger (pictured).

Once you wrap your head around the concept of a meatcentric purveyor strolling arm-in-arm with animal rights activists and accept that all you're getting is a Boca burger, take note of the good deal. It's damn near impossible to go wrong with Boca, and JR's fries are notably delectable. If nothing else, it's an excuse to check the place out. Print out a coupon (vegcooking.com/johnnyrocketspecial.asp) and chow down — just watch what you request on the jukebox.
