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. ;)

Holy vegan hot dog, I want to win this giveaway. I think my favorite all-time vegan food would have to be your vegan cashew cheeze sauce. I could eat that stuff by the spoonful. And I’m not just saying that to do a little bit of butt-kissing :)
my favorite vegan food is lite silken tofu. that little box of protein-packed soy can take on so many flavors, textures, and cuisines!
Vegan goodies are so much fun! I’d have to say my favorite vegan food and my favorite vegetable is roasted sweet potato. Yum!
Though this definitely isn’t original, I would have to say extra garlicky hummus is my favorite vegan food…that or green peas mixed with sweet potato. This is such a generous giveaway!
Indian food! When I was in NY for Thanksgiving I ate at this amazing Indian restaurant called Mint! Yum. :-)
