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. ;)

My favorite food (delicious AND nutritious) is PESTO! Yum! Pesto on anything, namely in big scoops with zucchini!!
favorite vegan food? TEMPEH!
Trying to incorporate more vegan foods into our (typically) omnivore lifestyle has been challenging. Some days it seems I work in a prep kitchen – slicing and dicing my way into wellness!! When things get a bit too much, I turn to Vega. I know it’s not a recipe or magic ingredient, but it does taste great (esp. the Vanilla Chai) and satisfies my hunger without compromising my goals.
My favorite vegan meal is curried chickpeas! yummmmm:)
While I definitely have had vegan food, I don’t know enough to pick just one. However we just finished watching ‘ Forks over Knives’ and I agree that we need to start making some big chances to our diets-the facts are there we have just been ignoring it!
well it’s not really a food but i love nutritional yeast I just started using it and I love the flavour and the fact that i can make old favourites like mac&cheese and not get sick from the cheese
Favorite vegan food: all of it, especially your no bake date bars.
I’m pregnant, so my tastes change regularly :) but right now my favorite vegan food is definitely oatmeal with almond milk, topped with nut butter.
My own vegan chocolate chip cookies!
I love Chez Hareg. It’s a DC vegan bakery and is carried at Whole Foods. I love all their products I have tried but the Vegan Lemon Bars are wonderful!
I made Chocolate Covered Katie’s chocolate chip cookie dough dip two days ago… And it might just be my new favorite treat!
Mmmmmmm, so many good things that are vegan-friendly! Let’s see. Oh, how can you do this to us? There’s, like, the whole world to choose from. Okay, right now I’m going to say: baked butternut squash puree topped with coconut oil and celtic sea salt.
Its a tie between your veggie burgers and curried sweet potato soup with coconut milk!
