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. ;)

Raw, vegan Nacho plate, along side a green smoothie of the day, and followed by raw, vegan blonde macaroons! Compliments of our local vegan cafe!!
I have discovered lots of fun, yummy vegan foods through your website. My most recent favorites were your butternut squash burritos, and the cocoa and pumpkin cake from this fall! Thanks for sharing and for this awesome give away!!
Almond milk and overnight oatmeal :-)
favorite vegan food..the chocolate cake or thai peanut tempeh wraps from the jones eastside in gainesville, florida.
My favourite vegan food has to be raw vegan chocolate chip cookies. I make them and keep them in the freezer. They’re so good right out of the freezer- and just one is so filling!
One of my favorite vegan foods is your butternut mac and cheeze.
Vegan “cheese” sauce is really, truly great! I love it!
I recently became vegan, and I love tofu!!! I also love reading about your adventures in New York; it’s making me want to go and try all of these vegan places! Thanks for this awesome giveaway.
This is a real toss-up. I’m not vegan but slowly, over the past several years, have started to eat more and more like I am. I love juices, a Mediterranean tofu dish from Dreena Burton, hummus, raw kale massaged with avocado and salt. When it comes down to it, I just love all the delicious foods that go into making yummy, real-food vegan dishes.
ALL vegan desserts :)
I’ve been vegan for nearly 3 years and love to cook, but my favourite vegan meal is a tempeh and potato casserole that my (non vegan) boyfriend makes for me when I’m too busy to cook! He made it up on a whim with what we had in the fridge one night and it’s amazing!
Seitan hot wings. Best party food ever—they have to be for a party so that you don’t eat them all in one sitting!
My favorite are these apple pecan muffins that are warm, fruity, and delicious!!! One of the first vegan recipes that I made. The best, however, are the ones that my mom makes for me! I had to be brave to not put up a super chocolate recipe, though! I love me some chocolate! ;)
Vegan Homemade Pancakes have got to be the best things in the world! I love it(:
LOVE THIS CONTEST- (I am new to NYC and since day one have OFFICIALLY become addicted to One Lucky Duck/Pure Food & Wine.)
My fav vegan food would have to be YOUR chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats recipe. Obsessed! Thank you so much for all your amazing ideas.
xoxo
A tie between your vegan pumpkin pie and butternut squash cheese sauce!!
Hope you are loving NY :)
I’m going to sound like a suck-up.. but I love your raw date bars! i can gobble them up!
vegan french toast! yum! with pure maple syrup from vermont :)
Vegan brownies! I love most brownies but there’s a vegan bakery in my neighborhood that beats them all.
I love the Super Charge Me Cookies, I’ve been making them for years now. I also really enjoy your avocado pasta recipe.
