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.
that would just be my favorite food – avocado anything, especially guacamole, but I just took a hint and discovered the joy of combining chocolate and avocado for mousse and cake.
I looooove fresh fruit. I know it’s simple but it’s always good in season. Or I like a good tabouleh. Can’t go wrong with that.
What a great experience you had…! Many of my favourite vegan foods are Korean foods my hubby has made vegan-my top favourite, if I had to pick, would be soon-doo-boo jji-gae (순두부 찌개). It is the best ‘even though’ it’s vegan. : D
any kind of homemade Larabar!
My favourite vegan food is apple pie with vegan pie crust, a home-made special with almonds. :)
My favorite vegan food is most definitely any variation of a pumpkin smoothie. Actually anything with pumpkin in it period!
Very cute, Ange! I hope you crack the recipes. :)
My favourite vegan meal… well, gotta love Tamarind Lentils. :)
Hi
My favorite vegan/raw item is raw cookies out of Ani Phyo’s book. I have 3 of her books and love them. Very simple ideas and not super hard to find ingredients.
thanks
Peanut butter and apples. Could live on just those two foods alone!
Favorite vegan food? Pears!
Fun! I’ve never heard of this place, sounds amazing though! I’d have to say that my favorite vegan food is probably flax crackers + hummus. The combo was one of the first things I ever tried as a vegan… so it kinda stuck!
Definitely raw vegan brownies! (dates,walnuts,cocoa) yum!
i LOVE pure and one lucky duck! so good!
one of my favorite vegan foods is this recipe i make that is like cheesy potatoes. they are amazing!!!
It’s hard to pick one thing, but this fall my favorite recipe has been vegan corn chowder. I have made it several times over the past few months.
Angela! I am soooo jealous that you got to visit One Lucky Duck in New York! That place looks incredible!
I am not a vegan but I definitely respect the lifestyle – (and the food!) – and hope to make the full transition one day. Right now I just call myself PRO-VEG!
My favorite food of ALL time happens to be vegan though, yay! Really simple, but always delicious, Peanut butter and banana sandwich :)
(I like them toasted on the cinnamon raisin ezekiel bread, is that vegan?)
I love your vegan black bean and quinoia salad! I made it for Thanksgiving and everybody loved it!
fav vegan food: cookies! :)
I’m more than overjoyed with a bowl of butternut squash macaroni waiting for me when I get home from work (conveniently located in clear Tupperware that tempts me during breakfast and lunch). and yes, it’s your recipe that got me hooked (and my entire, omnivore family! my dad even asked me to make it for Christmas this year!).
Kale with roasted chicken peas
Homemade salsa – made from yummy things in my garden! Bummed winter is upon us and have to wait until net summer to make a batch! Some year I will learn to can it!
