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. ;)

my favorite vegan food…. how do i choose!! i love everything! But, after ten years of being vegan, I would say that sesame ginger tofu tacos served with peanut sauce and avocado are my absolute favorite. yum<3
My favorite would have to be stir-fry. Fast, easy, healthy, endlessly customizable!
I would have to say that I can not get enough chick peas or tomatoes lately! However I can never get enough vegan cookie dough :)
I LOVE to make OSG’s vegan mac and (not) cheese. So good!!
Kale chips for sure! Totally jelly of your trip! Looks like so much fun!
This is one amazing giveaway! Channa masala and tofu butter masala are my favorites!
my favorite vegan food has to be your vegan bean burgers, hands down
my favorite vegan food item would probably be a maple cornbread muffin that is made in a local natural food store where I live. I am completely obsessed with it, and keep trying to get their recipe, but it’s top secret. But I don’t mind, as long as they have it, I have no problem supporting my local grocery store!!
breakfast smoothies – berries, banana, spinach, protein powder, chocolate amazing grass, almond butter, and almond milk
One of my favs is pepperjack daiya cheeze.
Hope to win!
My favorite Vegan food is anything with nuts and Almond Milk! I love making anything I can with Cashews!
Quinoa salad: quinoa, lentils and whatever veggies I have hanging around the crisper.
Definitely your “This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Sweet Potato Casserole”! I made if for the first time for Thanksgiving and it way sensational.
I’ve very recently become a vegan…and it is all yummy so far! Something I really love is spaghetti squash with bell peppers mixed in, it’s super simple and very tasty.
Or just plain bell peppers because I am boring. Seriously, if I could live off of them, I would.
You’re so sweet! What an exciting giveaway.
My favorite vegan food: nut butter. But for a more exciting vegan product, I guess I’ll say Daiya. *Swoon*
Your vegan pizza! It’s how I get my Texan husband to eat his veggies.
Omg that sounds DELICIOUS! I don’t think I could pick just one vegan food, but I think pumpkin muffins are up at the top of the list! Thanks for the giveaway and glad you are enjoying the east coast – I’ve lived here for almost three years and am still discovering new things!
mm I’m reading this post from the library and it’s making me so hungry! There’s a vegan resturant here in Montreal called Aux Vivres that makes a mean dragon bowl with brown rice topped with sprouts, pickled carrots, tofu, beans, vegies and a satay sauce its delicious.
