Last time I checked in on Letchworth Village a few weeks ago, I meant to hit the interior of the buildings on Ridge Road, adjacent to the golf course. Wanting to make my quick trip slightly north even more worthwhile, I added more to my Letchworth count… though so much Read more…
How fantastic is calzone? Especially the all-vegan, Best of the Borough, Brooklyn Firefly‘s Sausage & Peppers calzone. It’s like a few slices of pizza, but neater. Neater to, say, eat while driving… though I don’t condone distracted driving. Here is my calzone, in the car. Do not try this… in Read more…

Hot Dog! (Did you know that people used to exclaim this in certain situations of excitement? I only know this because I used to read Archie comics when I was a kid.) Sometimes I get a craving for a vegan hot dog with a ton of stuff on it. Because Read more…

It’s not November, but September that spawns a monster. The month is marked with a slightly traumatizing transition… the surrender of freedom for employment. And this year it was quite literal. While I adjust and attempt to balance the demands, here is the moon… September’s full Harvest Moon, which seems Read more…

With a need for a wholesome type of sweetness and with a big tub of Medjool dates to utilize, I made these beauties. The base is just three easy ingredients: Almond flour, which I have a ton of after buying a huge bag before realizing I need almond flour made Read more…
I never made Baba Ganoush before! But after seeing this recipe and craving something creamy and tahini-y, I threw an eggplant in my shopping cart. Most of the transformative work of this recipe is done in the oven while the big eggplant roasts. The rest is really just mixing. Soft Read more…

My landlady is so sweet. She likes to share produce from her weekly box from the senior center with me. Usually it’s potatoes, apples, and various citrus. But this time, unexpectedly, she knocked on my door with two stalks of corn! I took the opportunity to try whipping up an Read more…

I’m kinda excited about my cookie dough scooper. So I have been making chocolate chip cookies a lot. In fact, I kinda feel like getting up right now and making another batch! . . . . Look at those scoops Ran out of parchment (because of making so many cookies), Read more…
Out of New York City’s 5 boroughs, the longest list of vegan options to check out is in Manhattan. But this morning, with a photographic mission in the borough, I crossed one off my list: UT47 Kitchen in Hell’s Kitchen. As I walked in I was immediately struck by tons Read more…

For me, Manhattan’s San Gennaro Feast marks the change of seasons… the goodbye to summer and the welcome of autumn. It’s also one of my favorite things to photograph in New York City. I strolled through, regretting I had eaten such a big breakfast as I could do nothing but Read more…

Because I loved this Korma sauce recipe, I’m going to just leave these here: images of the deliciousness and the recipe link. I improvised… using green chili pepper instead of red, then cooked up with the tomatoes I had laying around, some tofu I pan fried first for texture, and Read more…

Another mermaid season comes to a close with none of the regular fanfare (The Mermaid Parade) unfortunately. Still trying to do photoshoots for all the items in my Etsy shop. Here, a foot photoshoot at my favorite mermaid haunt: Coney Island. For all your mermaid stuff, this shell purse is Read more…

Astoria’s Comfortland has some pretty gluttonous vegan fare on their omni menu. And that is exactly what I needed. Here, the next offering of New York City’s fantastic vegan sandwich options: The Freaken Vegan. But first, their adorable signage and outdoor space. The Freaken Vegan is a double-decker of crispy Read more…

While I attempt to get my head in the game of returning to what will likely be the most ridiculous school year of my career, enjoy the happenstance exploration of this abandoned school in upstate New York.
You may have heard of David Abercrombie by way of of Abercrombie & Fitch, though he has nothing to do with the brand since 1907. Prior to 1907 he had established the brand of sporting equipment for the elite and very wealthy drawing from his many years of working as Read more…

Having a lot to catch up on, I met up with a friend at a neighborhood spot I have been eyeballing since I caught wind of their vegan option. Aleli is an upscale contemporary Mexican restaurant that’s been open on 3rd avenue for about a year. Their gorgeous space promises Read more…

Since I had a car, I thought I’d check in onย Letchworth Village‘s grounds. Because when the sun blazes the temperature into the 90’s, nothing is more satisfying then slinking around putrid abandoned decay. To follow, the current state of things–in four parts. This is part 1: Congregation B’nai Israel.
Sometimes, when I read a menu, I fall in love with a vegan sandwich option. I imagine it in my hands. And because “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul” (Edward Abbey, but read via graffiti in abandoned hospital), I headed over to the eatery as soon as Read more…

Happy to be right across the street from Cider Belly Doughnuts for ease of breakfast fulfillment–for both vegans and not-vegans. Also, an oat milk latte from Dunkin’ because of convenience. I bought two for me… thinking I’d have one now and later. Buuuut, it was more now and now on Read more…
