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. ;)

I actually love pretty much any vegan dessert because I love knowing that dairy and eggs are not needed to make things be fluffy, etc. Cupcakes especially :)
Oh and Tofu is the best in any form :)
That looks so awesome! My looove vegan pad thai!
My favorite vegan food is fresh pico de gajo & chips. I think I could eat it for every mean :)
KALE CHIPS! So addicting yet so healthy!
It’s sooo hard to choose… but I really love a recipe a frind of my does, with black rice, black beans, green kale gently stir-fryed, witha lemon-tahini-soy-sauce. It’s such a bowl of comfort and deliciousness! BUT you’re awesome “cheese”-sauce woth butternut squash is a good second.
Oh. And fresly baked bread with almond butter and banans. But I don’t know if that’s a dish. :P
Thank you for awesome blog and inspiration! :)
I have a lot of vegan food loves, but nut butters would have to top my list! I eat massive amounts of almond, peanut, and cashew butters!
A favorite in our house is the barley and bean bowl salad from Veganomican. Even my husband requests it.
Basic roasted root veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper is one of my very favorite things to eat…especially turnips!
Baked goods batter… I love that I can eat (test) the batter raw.
Nut butter of any kind! On apples, in my oats, on a spoon…. (;
Oh boy.. I’d have to say my mama’s homemade veggie pizza or sweet potato casserole. Yummmm! :)
My fav vegan food is mac cheese. so good.
My favorite vegan food discovery has been nutritional yeast, so good!
coconut “bacon”! you can put on everything!
Okay here is my attempt. My fav. vegan food is truffles. I dont mean the chocolates I mean truffles from the earth. Put them on anything and Im a happy girl.
Sabs. :)
I love any kind of nut butters!
There are so many favorites. Love green smoothies and overnight oats, but lately loved your sweet potatoes recipe and the lentil loaf. Very good!
My fav vegan food? Hmm that’s a tough one because I love pretty much all vegan foods.
But my top fav would probably be oatmeal with sliced banana, 85% dark chocolate, cinnamon and peanut butter or any other nut butter!:D
Hail Merry Lemon Tarts… Wow, so good!!
My favorite is quinoa. It is such a versatile grain that you can pair it with something for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. I like that it is high in protein and the fact that you can sprout the seeds and eat it as a raw, live food for snacks or in salads and sandwiches.
