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. ;)

Favorite Vegan Food: PUMPKIN. I’m obsessed with it. I try to limit myself to it seasonally, so it feels like a special treat. Your pumpkin mac & cheese blew my mind.
Also, my favorite vegan-ized food is RANCH DRESSING. It was something I knew I could never live without and thanks to Spiral Diner’s fab recipe, I don’t have to. YES.
My favorite vegan food would have to be spaghetti squash and a cold green monster :D
My favourite vegan food is banana soft serve. Simple and delicious.
Dairy free chocolate!!!
Currently Hummus is at the top of my list – If you can find Chef Earl’s Giardiniera Hummus near you, I can promise you will fall in love. On a more regular basis is any kind of huge salad with so many veggies you get something different with every bite. So glad you had such a great time in NYC. I lived there for 5 years and it looks like you hit all of the high points!
Wow, great giveaway! One of my all-time favorite vegan foods is fried cornbread- all you need is corn meal, oil, water, and salt. Yum!
I have been loving oatmeal cooked in almond milk with flax seed meal lately. Super yummy!
Tahini!! I put it on everything – sweet, savory, doesn’t matter.
probably…vegan Persian Love Cake. if you have never tried it, there is a fantastic recipe here: http://idoallmyownstunts.typepad.com/i-do-all-my-own-stunts/2009/08/persian-love-cake.html
it is a miracle cake
Does a fresh juicy, grainy pear count?
My favorite vegan food is green smoothies. :) Yum.
Vegan raw granola bars…mmm
Nutritional yeast to replace the most nearly irreplaceable non-vegan food: cheese.
I’m addicted to sea snax :-)cc
My latest raw/vegan addiction is kale chips. I make a batch in the dehydrator every night, and have begged Santa for extra trays since a batch doesn’t last an hour!
It’s hard to list just one vegan food… but I am making your sweet potato and black bean enchiladas for company tonight so I will say that!
This One Lucky Duck place sounds delicious!
my favorite is a tempeh BLT! so so good.
