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. ;)

This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
quinoa battered onion rings from Fresh! YUM!
Favorite vegan food? Hummus and kale chips have my heart!
Lentil burgers….or anything you post on your blog Angela!! Love it!
Hummus.
How do you chose? My favorite staple is almond milk! Beans! I know, I’m weird but I love those magical fruits!! hehe
My favorite vegan food is pumpkin oatmeal. I could it eat it every morning…and maybe every afternoon and evening as well :-)
One of my favorite vegan foods would have to be vegan brownies; dense and moist, with a crackle top, and no nuts.
Or I would have to pick Chocolate Covered Katie’s cookie dough dip.
Or for regular food (not dessert) I would pick roasted squash or yams, baked with lemon juice squeezed on top (seriously, it is so sweet this way and there is no added oil or sugar!)
I’m not vegan but I lovvvee hummus.
Oh what a beautiful assortment of goodies!!! I imagine that my favorite vegan food would be any of those little treats but i haven’t tried any of them yet ;) my favorite vegan foods list would definitely include almond milk (and almond butter spread on anything and everything) big kale salads, dishes with lentils and spices, and recently, VOO thanks to you! I hope the rest of your trip is lovely!
GREEN MONSTER!!!!!!!! or any smoothie for that matter =)
Roasted kabocha squash sprinkled with sea salt and cinnamon.
Avocadoes!
That is a hard one but probably ultimate oatmeal raisin cookies, but with chocolate chips instead of raisins! Looks like you had a great time, hope I can make it to New York someday :)
I have SO many favourite vegan foods, but these walnut pate sandwiches take the cake: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/11463
Hello!
My daughter is going to New York University. I should have given you her address and some goodies. ; ) She came home vegetarian last year and now we are eating vegan…thanks to your recipes. My almost daughter-in-law (Dec. 29th) shared your website with me and I read it everyday. There are many recipes that I really enjoy, but my all time favorite is the very first one I tried…Cacao & PB Vegan Overnight Oat Parfait. It is a good intro for non-vegan friends.
Thanks for your hard work and glad you have a little playtime.
Cindy
I love your butternut squash macaroni and cheese!
Hard to choose a favorite food! For dessert I’d have to say vegan iceceeam, I make my own and don’t know what I’d do without my iceceeam maker! Nutritional yeast is my favorite vegan ingredient, I use it every day just about!! I am a big fan of dairy cheese, so this saves me from eating it!!
I love vegan macaroons!!!
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake! I made it last week for Thanksgiving, sooo good!
My favorite vegan food would have to be sweet potatoes!
