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 your avocado cream sauce over pasta!
Kale chips and One Lucky Duck macaroons of course ;)
fave vegan food has to be a simple avocado with smoked sea salt.
I just transitioned from vegetarian to vegan! My favorite vegan food is beanbouleh. Its made with chickpeas, black-eyed peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, parsely, onion, tomatoes, garlic, evoo, lime juice, and salt/pepper. So simple and lots o’ protein!
We like your creamy avocado pasta.
Green smoothies for breakfast! Love that you can hide veggies in a delicous smootie for breakfast! What a great day to start your day! Enjoy the rest of your trip in SD! Xx
What a great giveaway! I would love to try adding more vegan foods to my diet. Current faves include green monsters, overnight oats and Mama Pea’s Peanut Yumm sauce!
Well I am just new to the vegan way of life really …. only a few months!!! Love it though as it feels completely right. I am still experimenting and trying so many different types of food that I never use to eat … so I am still working out new favourites every day. :)
At the moment, my favourite would be a really yummy veggie chilli dish that I seem to have created just right flavour wise with fresh herbs etc …. packed full of veggies with nutritional yeast on top, which I had never had before, and some avocado with lemon juice to top it. This is probably really simple to most of you but I was never a very good cook before, so I am getting better every day!
I have only just found your blog but have loved reading your travel stories …. makes me want to go! I wish Sydney had all those vegan restaurants.
Favorite Vegan food, home made guacamole with your home made crackers….love those crackers they were perfect for a great chunky guacamole mmmmm I might need some tonight :)
hmmm, that’s tough! But I’d have to go with the Peanut Butter cups from The Kind Life book :) mmm. Chocolate & PB make me happy & is a divine treat as a new mom :) I just hope I dont give my son a Peanut allergy from eating too much PB ;)
This looks awesome :) My have vegan treat is a new recipe I found for vegan banana chic chip mini muffins made with coconut oil and agave nectar. Super natural and sooo good!
Any kind of green drink!
At the top of my list is your chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard, so amazingly good!
