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. ;)

Wow, this giveaway is amazing! I love kale chips as a snack–it’s so hard to choose, though, because all vegan food is yummy!
Blackstrap molasses … I’d be happy to live off that and nothing else! :D
Thank you :)
pumkin gingerbread with spiced buttercream, vegan overnight oats, and wedding bliss soft ginger cookies!
That looks amazing. Your vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe is my favourite and ny boys too!
My favorite vegan food is kale chips! YUM. And this giveaway is amazing.
Oreos!!
I made your pumpkin brownie pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving last week and saved a couple of pieces…I got to finish off the last one yesterday, and it was so so good! My parents also liked that pie the best out of all the pies at our get-together :)
My favorite vegan food is your butternut squash mac and cheese! Delicious, cheezy comfort in a bowl.
NAKED! Definitly the Naked Smoothies! They calm that pesky (but oh so wonderful) sweet tooth while giving you TONS of nutrients! Gotta love ’em!
My absolute favorite vegan food is hummus. Homemade hummus. And not from a can chickpeas, but made from dried chickpeas homemade hummus. (Soak beans for a day at room temperature and then 2 days in the refrigerator for really soft silky beans) A rice cake with hummus and a green smoothie is the perfect start to my day.
Almost anything! But my favorite is definitely Indian…and just about any recipe on OSG :)
Oh gosh, one of my favorite vegan foods…hmmmmm, peanut butter!?!
Unsweetened almond vanilla milk is my choice. I’m waiting to see the new coconut almond breeze on the shelf, now that’s got to be delicious.
Hard to pick just one favourite vegan food….but if I have to pick…the clear winner is Raw Vegan Brownies with Raw Frosting – so delicious!
Hummus!! Eat it everyday!!
I would say my favs are green monsters (thanks to you) and kale anything!! Thanks for this delicious looking giveaway!!
Oh gosh, I guess my favorites are
snack: kale chips
homemade meal: your eggplant parm!
dining out: indian food
drink: green monsters and green tea (not at the same time)
