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. ;)

My favorite is butternut squash and carrot soup! Thank you so much for offering such a yummy and generous giveaway.
Hi there, I am new to Veganism and love, love, love Daiya Cheddar and Mozza Style Shreds, so versatile and sooo satisfying! BTW, love your site, I have tried many recipes and they are awesome.
oooh my most fave vegan food……..I’d have to say I most recently made your “my favorite granola” and it was amazing! That would easily be one of my most favorite vegan foods! A close second would be almond milk, so delicious and creamy and knowing it didn’t come from an animal makes it even more sweet! Plus it goes great with granola! :) Thank you for this giveaway Angela!!
Hardest contest ever! Tonight, burrito pie is top of my list becaue it’s dinner time and ready to eat.
Almond butter!!! Mmmmm
My favourite vegan food is usually anything with chickpeas in it. Those little beans rule my life!
I also really love vegan oat bars and cookies :)
My favorite vegan food is Sunwarrior vegan protein powder – vanilla flavor

My favourite vegan food by far is The Whole Bowl from Portland, Oregon!!!! YUM! :P
My favorite food is hands down winter squash! Luckily it’s that time of year. I hope you tried the artisanal vinegars at chelsea market… when I lived in NYC that was a fun treat for me every once in a while :)
Vegan food is next to IMPOSSIBLE to find in Oklahoma, unless you make it yourself! That being said, my favorite vegan food of late are the perfect veggie burgers using the recipe from your site, or the heavenly piece of banana cream pie I had when in NYC once!
homemade minestrone soup, green monsters, and vegan baked goods are some of my favorites. how lucky to have gone to NY, that’s where I’m from!
My favourite vegan food has got to be hummus. Obsessed with the stuff!
One of my most fav recipes, especially this time of the year are pumpkin vegan cinnamon rolls with added raisins for a little fun. :-) I heart them so much and so much better for you! A little different than your traditional cinnamon roll, but oh so good!
My favorite vegan food is easily coconut butter. It is incredibly easy too! Just throw some coconut flakes into a food processor, blend, and drizzle on anything (or eat by the spoonful ;)) for a decadent dessert!
Coconut bliss. for sure. should go get some now!
