Needing a good breakfast before heading back to Rochester and needing to see Angela, we met at Le Petit Monstre bright and early and managed to find primo parking… a delicious appetizer if I do say so myself. This place is large and refreshingly spacious for Brooklyn and has a Read more…

Well we are half way through the last month of 2023. As time continues to fly, some mid-month outtakes.

After a wrong turn, we headed to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. So of course I had to cross off a couple of eats from my list… First, Happy Zoe Vegan Bakery. This place and its treats have that 90’s feel, the kind that reminds me of the old days. I got a Read more…

It is really difficult to capture the beauty of these trees with the camera. But that doesn’t mean I won’t try. During the beautiful blue hour I began shooting them and I continued until my hunger pangs won the battle. Meet Joshuas. It is when they are plentiful and layered Read more…

It’s pretty fantastic that vegan breakfast options are becoming so widespread. For the decades I’ve been vegan, a morning bite was often not easy to be found.

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…

It was pure joy to stumble upon Valley Vegan in Conway, New Hampshire while staying nearby. The all-vegan shop and bakery offered me (and others!) all I could need for sustenance. Fully stocked case made it difficult to decide… If I had a kitchenette in my room, I’d get some Read more…

A satiating breakfast was necessary after a grueling first evening of camping. I stumbled into Hampton Coffee Company in downtown Montauk in a daze and left with a greasy breakfast sandwich that was going to do the trick… though it wouldn’t be my usual choice. With Field Roast Chao Cheese Read more…

I love a holiday where eating is featured prominently. And the traditional eats of Hanukkah are especially delicious—fried… miraculously. The oil represents the “miracle” oil that burned inexplicably for 8 days, spreading word of the Jewish victory over the Greeks over 2,000 years ago. Today’s themed eats would include a Read more…

Sitting in a diner and drinking coffee, this was youth on Long Island. With some choice table juke box selections, my favorite being Nirvana’s take on The Man Who Sold the World—inexplicably between jams twice its age as if placed just for this Pillar Box Red headed misfit in suburban Read more…
