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. ;)

The chocolate Macarons look amazing! My current face vegan treat are the black bean cherry chili cookies on My New Roots, so addictive & I’ve even got the rest of the office making them :) this is such a great giveaway – thanks for sharing!!!
My favorite vegan food is the good old cashew. I had no idea how versatile it was until I started reading vegan food blogs. As a Wisconsin native, parting with cheese is difficult, but amazing cashew cheeses are fun replacements.
Avocados!
Too many favs to choose from! I think your pb+j nanaimo bars may top the list. Those things are dangerous!
I love strawberries; especially when in season! I eat them straight from the vine green or red:)
The best vegan food I have ever eaten was a chocolate tofu pie!
So many of my fave foods are vegan! Hahaha any veggie or fruit is fine with me :D Great giveaway! How cool!
Ooo! This might be the best giveaway ever. One of my favorite vegan foods is actually the One Lucky Duck Caesar Salad!
HUMMUS!!
Oh my goodness….SO hard. Hmmm…I love sweets, but I’m gonna have to go with hummus.I LOVE it on anything and everything (ok….minus sweets)
It’s so versatile! There are a bazillion flavors you could make, and its good on so many things!
Sandwiches, salads, pastas, as a dip, or simply just a big ol’ spoonful by itself!
I’m drooling as I type.
I am hooked on your VOO’s!
Hmm I would have to say the vegan mushroom gravy and mashpotatoes. YUM. Enjoy NYC!
Something so simple that I go back to over & over again…raspberries!
As is, baked into bars, dipped into cocoa powder…love them.
My favorites are green monsters and your sweet potato oatmeal breakfast casserole!
I *love* vegan cupcakes. And I’ve passed through One Lucky Duck and wanted so many things … but have never let myself get them. What a treat this would be! :)
I LOVEE your almond burgers! I just make the mix and eat it sometimes :))
I’m not a vegan, but one of my favorite vegan foods is simply peanut butter!! Love, love, love it.
No joke, my favorite Vegan food are Oreos! I attempted a vegan lifestyle in college to emmulate my favorite band AFI, and at each show the fans would bust out Oreos while we waited in Line:)
I *love* vegan cream sauce pasta dishes…thick and creamy but don’t leave me feeling bogged down :)
I’m am not vegan but have started experimenting a lot more with vegan foods since finding your blog. The recipe that is my absolute favorite right now is your black bean and butternut squash burrito! I have made it 5 times in 3 weeks.. I just can’t get enough :)
There are so many recipes that I would love to try but can’t get my hands on all of the ingredients, Iceland hasn’t really gotten on the vegan train just yet :)
