I had my first One Lucky Duck experience in NYC after hearing so many good things about it over the past few years. One Lucky Duck was founded in 2005 by Sarma Melngailis, the co-creator of the Manhattan raw food restaurant, Pure Food and Wine. Sarma started One Lucky Duck to help bring the raw, vegan and organic lifestyle out of the underground and into the mainstream.
At One Lucky Duck, you can find all kinds of amazing raw vegan snacks from raw macaroons to chocolate chip cookies, handmade in small batches in the kitchen at NYC’s raw vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine.
We visited the Chelsea Market location and I was so excited to step inside this cafe!
We did all kinds of NYC sightseeing on this day of our travels, so the market was a nice change of pace after rushing around all day.
I bashfully asked the server if I could snap a picture or two. I don’t know about you other bloggers, but I get shy when I take pictures of food…!
It’s a really cute & cozy cafe. All of their products are on the wall including a fridge for fresh juices and whatnot. I got myself a few goodies (macaroons, raw chocolate, and buckwheat crispies) and a shot of wheatgrass for good measure.
It was hard to choose! I’ve somehow managed to open everything over the past few days and everything tastes incredible. I especially fell in love with the buckwheat cinnamon crispies (below). Maybe I can make these at home too? It’s on my list. ;)

You’re vegan and gf brownies! I’m a sucker for any kind of brownies and when I made the switch to vegan I was so sad until I tried your recipe! Love them.
Vegan Coconut Icecream – It’s summer here in Australia and its HOT. Not having icecream was my biggest challenge when I changed my diet a few years ago. Wizzed up frozen bananas are good but this stuff is incredible!
I LOVE Lucky Duck and the Chelsea Market. My favorite vegan food are raw macaroons. LOVE! I make my own, but Lucky Duck’s are wonderful. It just costs so much to ship!
Fave vegan food: falafel, can’t beat all the Middle Eastern flavours!

Tough! Either kale chips or my current favorite salad: greens, chickpeas, parsley, quinoa, and tahini dressing.
I’d have to say that, to date, my favorite vegan food is your pumpkin butter swirl bread! I’ve made it three times already this fall, and it gets rave reviews every time. Also, I’m headed to New York City myself in a few months and I’m looking forward to trying all the restaurants you’ve been mentioning! Happy travels :)
