Back over the bridge for some more vegan eats! Firstly, breakfast at Northside Coffee in West Brighton. I’ve reported on this space before, but when it was Fab Cup.

I was home for a minute when I received a message about the night’s Brooklyn Cyclones game… a limited edition bobblehead my Mom would flip for was being offered and it was… Vegan Night. So, I decided to jump right back into New York City, right into the concentrated dose Read more…

Blazing a quick trail to West Virginia, I knew I would be picking up some seitan wings from Mountaineer Tap House to help settle me into my hotel. I was pleased to learn that they had just created a vegan ranch to accompany the seitan wigs and I’d be one Read more…
And while we’re hitting the best vegan in the area, it was breakfast at Clinton Hill’s Guevara’s. A space as gorgeous and vibrant as their food, this is a Brooklyn gem. A rainbow concha was a must-have… This is their B.E.C. … made of King trumpet mushroom bacon, Mung bean ‘frittata’, Read more…

Vegan Victuals Best of the Boroughs awardee Brooklyn Firefly‘s calzone is just pure perfection. It was a must for my friend to sample as we vegged out in my Bay Ridge apartment. With housemade sausage and two housemade cheeses stuffed inside, there is no denying this is a special eat… Read more…
With a friend in town, it is busy times in Brooklyn and Queens, starting with a mermaid shoot at Jacob Riis in the Rockaways. Of course we had to jump in the water with record-high heat! Before and after the Atlantic ocean… Brekkie at Le Petit Monstre.. despite everything looking Read more…

The last day of the desert adventure… before I would spend hours in the air waiting for New York City storms to clear the atmosphere before landing in Buffalo to refuel and finally seeing my bed in Brooklyn at 2:00 am as opposed to 8:00 pm as originally scheduled. It Read more…

After a few nights roughing it, a self-care day in San Diego. It started with Split Bakehouse, an all-vegan bakery I was really looking forward to. It’s inside a food court in a mall, but the food court has a bunch of dediacted vegan eateries. That is vegan friendly! Take Read more…

Carlee’s Place has been serving the Borrego Springs community since 2010… but it seems longer. The place is timeless, cradling a familiarity and ambiance that is inexplicably comforting.

Chef Tanya is the force behind vegetarian mainstay Native Foods, an all-vegan casual eatery with locations in California, Colorado, Oregon and Illinois.

PB Bistro & Bar in Greenwich, Rhode Island was a must-visit as I snaked back south from Massachusetts. “PB” stands for plant-based. “Bistro” for hearty, comforting fare. And “Bar” as in thoughtful libations with housemade components. More specifically there was this M*tha Clucka sandwich I had to get my hands Read more…
It’s been about 10 years since I discovered Manchester, Connecticut’s Divine Treasures.

Bario’s on Staten Island has a separate vegan menu–not just a small section of vegan offerings like they had when I visited in 2018. But I ordered the same thing this time: their mozzarella sticks. Because I do what my body tells me to do. They are pricey, but they Read more…

My list of vegan options in New York City is, once again, busting at the seams. Busting at the seams even though packaged options do not make it to my list. The world is becoming so very friendly, keeping me busy–exploring and supporting high standards with my hard-earned bucks. Next Read more…
