Trying Sutra was on my list for quite some time. Because I want to try every Matthew Kenney eatery. This counter spot is on the 4th floor in the Flatiron District. You have to take the elevator from the ground floor yoga gear store. More Blue Spirulina. I’m obsessed. The Read more…

A testament to the quality of his eatery’s food and the ever-growing popularity of vegan food, he now has more than 40 restaurants in 8 countries. My next report is on his newest NYC-based eatery, Sestina Pasta Bar. This is Read more…

What happens when Matthew Kenney gets his mitts on a French patisserie Beverly Hills? The whole darn thing goes vegan. And other locations get stocked with vegan options! Established in 1862, Ladurée is France’s most prestigious pastry shop. I picked up some of their macarons for loved ones in their Read more…

The V.V. Manhattan tag count is pretty darn high on this here blog. And though I have been escaping into Manhattan since I was just a girl, there is always more to see. And though we’ve grown apart, I would spend a day with her, tucking our past away and welcoming Read more…

I had some strenuous errands that would require some healthy sustenance… and my car. So I first hit up Matthew Kenney’s latest East Village spot, Plantmade, dining on my lap–New York City style. Plantmade is pretty new so perhaps its obstructed menu on the wall and lack of lighting will Read more…

Yet another Matthew Kenney eatery has opened its doors: XYST. As with all Matthew Kenney eateries, the plates were pretty and the Chelsea space was a beautiful refuge. Here is the brunch pictorial on my recent visit. Falafel Waffle: smoked tofu scramble with cashew hollandaise Cast Iron Socca: Market greens, Read more…

These nachos from Matthew Kenney’s new Latin place Bar Verde are spectacular: Butternut Queso. Black Beans. Pico De Gallo. Cashew Crema. Guacamole. Jalapeno. Radish. But we were underwhelmed by our other choices. But more so because the noise level of the space, the abrupt and slightly awkward service within the Read more…

He is creating an empire of all-vegan… whilest not watering down his brand. Each eatery has a distinct style of cuisine. Today’s: Brunch at his pizza-ish spot in the Read more…

Are you ready for it?… The United States of America is gorgeous. From shore to shore, the spectrum and range of natural beauty is astounding. This many say (or sing), but such things are more effective when felt, sharp-like, when one is inside (or atop) it, gazing and love-filled that there is Read more…

There are many things I enjoy about omusubi, Japanese rice balls with goodies within. They are handheld, small, and contain the flavor punch of an entire meal… and, lastly, they are not a meal. I had a dinner reservation on the horizon, after all. At Hanamizuki, a pretty cafe near Read more…

So Oklahoma City, yeah. This trip has officially come full-circle. We passed through Oklahoma at the start of our trip 12 days ago but did not stop. Even though I had discovered the raw restaurant 105 Degrees via ye olde google search, time was not on our side and we’d have Read more…

Although I proclaimed after my last visit to Pure Food and Wine that I’d not soon find justification to paying more than my weekly grocery allowance for a singular meal, you have to treat yourself sometimes. My upcoming birthday, CandyPenny‘s recently past birthday, Foodsparrow‘s return from a brief blogging hiatus, Tim X‘s NC-14 Read more…

Celebrating a very special period in my life, I was treated to a triple-digit all-raw dinner at Pure Food & Wine. Being perpetually broke and an avid thrifter, I am normally critical of such lofty expenditures, even food expenditures. Despite the hefty crew of NYC happy hour socialites toasting pitchers Read more…
