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. ;)

Leave a comment below telling me one of your favourite vegan foods and I’ll pick One Lucky Duck on Tuesday! Goodluck. :)
This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Vegan Over Night Oats, of course! My favorite kind is the one you introduced me to with bananas and blueberries. MMM, Maybe I’ll make a batch with frozen blueberries. I sure do miss summer berries, though.
favourite vegan foods = chocolate. Or vegan desserts really of any kind. It’s easy to make raw vegan desserts, balls, bites, mousses, spreads, whatever…not picky :)
GREAT giveaway!!!
I am not actually a vegan so I’m not sure what my favorite vegan treat it! I’m pretty sure the key lime pie lara bar is vegan though, so that is my favorite!
I’d love to win this to give to a friend who recently became a vegan.
Well…when I went vegan, I was so excited to lose weight until I discovered – vegan baking! ARGH! So good though – just have to run more :-) 2 favorites at the moment – Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s Chocolate Pumpkin Loaf, and your Pumpkin Chia Pudding Parfait. I’m veganizing my 2 year old, and any yummy foods I can get her to try brings me that much closer to her having a long, healthy life. And I love Chelsea Market, especially Manhattan Fruit Exchange! Thanks Angela for such a great blog!
Flax crackers + hummus!
Angela, I have really enjoyed your posts on your NYC visit! And this is an awesome giveaway – such fun!
One of my favorite vegan foods is quinoa – when made into patties with white beans I am vy happy :)
chocolate vegan cupcakes! Any vegan cupcakes for that matter :)
My favorite food in general is peanut butter and it just happens to be vegan too :)
Soba noodles with shitake, scallions, tofu and sesame seeds!
My favorites are Mama Pea’s Chickpeas and Dumplings or her Pizza Quinoa. And I love your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard, or just the cookie dough, they have saved my vegan sweet tooth more than a few times!
yummm! I love hummus
My favorite vegan food is the Chicago Diner’s chocolate chip tofu cheesecake :) It’s incredible!!
kale chips! Yummy!
I am new to this vegan “thang” but I have been utilizing your blog “full” of satisfying delicious foods that are good for you! I especially dig the tomato, onion, garlic,coconut soup and that chocolate torte made with advocado! It’s been alot fun making food with items I never would have dreamed of! Thanks!
It’s tough to say, maybe Isa from the PPK’s chocolate chip cookies!

Hummus. It’s a staple, and I love it with vegetables. Good for protein and energy!
I think it would have to be beet burgers. Yes. Definitely beet burgers.
