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. ;)

Favourite vegan food: Quinoa salads packed with greens, grains, and veggies! A huge diet staple in a busy life.

My favorite vegan foods are anything with chickpeas. I can’t get enough of them! Totally my comfort food. One of my favorite salads involves quinoa, chickpeas, red onions, cilantro, and a tahini dressing. Helped me when I first went vegan and missed macaroni and cheese. …And actually, sooo much better. Yum.
Favorite vegan food would be Chana Masala (with spinach). Actually, it’s my favorite food PERIOD, veg or not!
I am fairly new to this amazing lifestyle so I am still experimenting. I have loved the almond milk and the sunshine burgers. Yum!
I love making big batches of Spicy Collards with Black-eyed Pea Soup from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen. Freezes so well.
