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. ;)

I love this giveaway! I have heard so much about One Lucky Duck! My fav vegan food is your Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll. It is so incredibly delicious!!! My meat-eating boyfriend requets it on a weekly basis and it is so much fun for us to make it together. Thank you for offering such wonderful vegan recipes! :)
Nutritional yeast is my favorite vegan pantry staple, but I can’t stop making your Holly Nog Smoothie! Even my 2-year-old is hooked on them! :) I think I’ll go make one right now…
My favorite vegan food of late has to be Two Moms in the Raw bars, plus they’re gluten free for my hubby which scores big points in our house. By the way, I can’t wait to visit NYC again with your recommendations in my pocket!
I definietly can’t narrow it down to one food so I am going to pick my favourite Vegan treat! I whipped these healthy treats up after tasting them at an incredible restaurant in Edmonton, Alberta called Organic roots. Delicious Cashew/hemp balls. They would be perfect for you pre or post run! :)
My favorite vegan food is vegan mac n’ cheese made with nutritional yeast!!
Peanut Butter Cholcolate pillows! So good…
I LOVE vegan sugar cookies with vegan cream cheese frosting. YUM!!! I would love to try these goodies because they all sound so good!!!
OH MY GOSH!! You are too kind!! I recetnly made your Ultimate Vegan Lentil Walnut Loaf! It was delicous even for my none vegan husband!
Argula and pistachio pesto- so yummy and you can always pass it off to skeptics (to wild applause hopefully!)
I didn’t really eat vegan until trying some of your recipies! I’ve made
about 6 so far and am in love with your pumpkin gingerbread smoothie!!
Seeing your trip recaps brings me back to my New York trip last year. My sister and I surprised our mom with a trip from Vancouver for her 50th birthday around Rememberance Day. It’s one of my favorite cities and I can’t wait to go back one day!
Almond milk…vanilla flavor. Mmmm!
Currently puffins!
It has to be your chilled double chocolate torte. It’s always a hit with people and they are disappointed when I don’t bring it!
