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. ;)

those treats look amazing! I don’t think I can pick just one favorite vegan food! I am currently on a quinoa kick right now. And kale is always delicious!
In honor of the holidays my favorite vegan food is mashed sweet potatoes baked with crushed hazelnuts, diced shallots, and parsley. Oh My Goodness!!!
Kale chips with nutritional yeast! Mmmm
My favorite vegan food is coconut milk! It is super versatile and one of my main staples in cooking :-)
Yum!! What an awesome giveaway- would love to try all of those things. I can’t pick a favorite vegan food, but I’m eating some Sweet & Sara marshmallows as I type this, so I’ll say those!
Since going vegan recently(thanks to you) I loooove you’re mac and cheese!!!!! Sooo good.
creamy avocado sauce!! So great with Mexican food!
Avocado, hands down!
My favorite vegan food is super flavorful and most people never think of it as vegan….Guacamole!!! oOoOo and Bruschetta!
Kale chips! They’re so addicting! :)
hmm…i have to say i’m partial to your creamy avocado pasta. and really any vegan baked goods. this gift pack looks AMAZING!
Hard to pick just one thing! Guess I’ll go traditional and say mashed potatoes and vegan gravy. Yummy!
Butternut squash + tahini + avocado in a leafy salad.

My favorite vegan food is my morning oatmeal…so many mix-ins to choose from, yum!
Vegan burritos. Vegan mac and cheese. Vegan brownies. I have so many foods going through my head right now I don’t think I could pick just one favorite!
My favorite food (vegan or otherwise) is hummus. It goes with everything in my opinion plus everyone gives me weird looks when I lick it out of the package, bowl, food processor, or vitamix. Keeps me full + entertained by the baffled stares. :) Glad to hear you are enjoying New York!
Favorite vegan food: my homemade, raw truffles!
chickpea tacos! Yummm.
This is so hard to narrow down. I would have to say vegan chocolate chip cookies.
