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. ;)

One of my favorite vegan foods is banana soft serve. I honestly think it’s better than ice cream ever was!
My favorite vegan food is the Ruben Sandwich from Good Karma Cafe in Red Bank, NJ!
nutritional yeast, its so versatile!!
i LOVE kale. i eat it every way possible.
My favorite vegan food is the chocolate walnut cookies form Veganomicon! I’m making them for a cookie exchange next week :)
my fave vegan meal has to be lemon avocado pasta. it is SOOO good!!
So many favorites: but since fall/winter weather is here, I’ll go with lentil soup.
Okay, it’s not a dish but my favourite vegan food is nutritional yeast. I only recently started using it (when making a bunch of your recipes that call for it!) and it’s so great that I almost don’t miss cheese! Thanks for inspiring me and for the chance at this giveaway…fingers crossed :)
Just discovered kelp noodles, soooo good with salads<3
My favorite vegan food would have to be lentils! There is just so much you can do with them! I had taco lentils last night for the first time and wow…I think this is going to be a weekly meal, just need to find healthier taco shells!
Hard to pick! I use hemp seeds on a lot of things — great way to add a hit of whole protein, and super tasty! Just sprinkle some on top of salads, pastas, etc.
Favorite Raw Vegan Food: dehydrated fruit salad.
Favorite Vegan Food: Native Café’s vegan chik’n strips.
My favorite vegan recipe that I’ve made so far is a vegan chocolate cake with chai spiced buttercream (found on eatliverun). I also loved your pumpkin cinnamon rolls.
Your double chocolate torte!!
My favorite vegan food is your OSG Overnight Vegan Oats. I eat them for breakfast almost every day. It was my “gateway” dish into the vegan lifestyle!
At the moment it would have to be those easy choc. peanut butter crispy bars, oh yum. Not only do I love to make and eat them, I also love to make your weekend glow salad I eat to make up for eating a pan full!
My favorite vegan food is either my chocolate chunk zucchini muffins or raw vegan pad thai salad.
Kale chips. So yummy! My little ones love them also!
Would love to try Lucky Duck! And am always up for my fav vegan mac and cheese!
Fave Vegan food so far has got to be your recipe for Butternut Squash Mac and Cheeze. So good, my husband couldn’t tell it was vegan.
