Capturing the Light /
Midtown Vegan Eats

Sometimes I say to myself, “I can’t wait to see what you’ll create.” I know that sounds super geeky, but I get excited for me. I get excited to see what will creep out of hiding, something that needed a form to speak, something that would move my hand with Read more…


Angel Hunting in the 5 Boroughs (Manhattan)

🔔 Every Time A Bell Rings… A New York City angel gets stalked by me. Did you happen to notice I never stalked the angels in the 5th borough? This is partly because, by design, Manhattan doesn’t have any of my favorite kind of angel… the grieving angel. In fact, Read more…


Crumbs Bake Shop Red Velvet Cupcakes

I didn’t know this but Crumbs Bakeshop, one of the early cupcake-only bakeries, closed all their doors, filing bankruptcy in 2014. I looked into them in the cupcake heyday (2003/2004), but they never had a vegan option. Then, eventually, they offered some vegan options–I’m not sure when this happened. I Read more…


Pretty as a Cupcake

What is that, velvet? Why yes, they are Red Velvet. Sprinkles’ fantastic vegan recipe makes for a very impressive addition to a work function. And because it’s for colleagues, I didn’t skimp on the red and the sweet. Because you eat with your eyes… and then you eat with your Read more…

Vacation in New York City

Oh that? That’s a steak tartare from the all-vegan French place in the West Village, Delice & Sarrasin. I took a vacation in my city, making an occasion of booking a hotel room in Times Square for a friend’s birthday celebration. On the way in… dystopian urban landscape that is Read more…


“But you’re still the one pool where I’d happily drown.”

Sometimes I go to… New York.  And, despite our long history, I treat it like someone new–like how you are at the start of a relationship. I give it a new chance to win my heart (which, admittedly, I fork over and over and over thousands of times a day Read more…


Pink / Red and Pretty [Breaking in a Canon G9X]

The Canon G9X reminds me of my grandfather’s old camera, especially in this nifty case. It’s a great camera, but there’s no viewfinder… which kind of kills the whole nostalgic feel of it.  But it sure takes a pretty picture. Another go at the Sprinkles red velvet for a work Read more…


The 👑 Queen 👑 of Vegan Cupcake Options:

Of all the vegan cupcakes I have tried all over the country, my favorite comes not from a vegan bakery but Sprinkles–the world’s first cupcake bakery! During a recent visit to a book store I perused their long-awaited cookbook, excited to see that my beloved vegan red velvet cupcake and vegan Read more…


Candle 79, And Now Some NYC Love

With the start of the school year, I am in Brooklyn everyday again. Urban machinery and subterranean air have united me with 8 million more parts. I remember why I love her. And I remember why I hate her. She’s like me–impractical and strained while magnificent in her own norms. She has Read more…


Midwest Vegan, Day 7 [Goodbye, Chicago]

Karyn delivered–in save-the-best-for-last fashion. And after peeping her menus from her multiple vegan restaurants for many years, I was finally sitting in Karyn’s on Green, ready for Saturday brunch. I had the Breakfast Sliders: two delicious Belgian waffles for a bun, their yummy butternut squash “bacon,” a savory tofu “egg,” and almond Read more…


Sweet Teeth

The week is easier with sweet snacks.A baby vegan cupcake from Sprinkles… And a bag of almond cookies from High Hopes Vegan Bakery, the ridic-delish Etsy shop based out of my own Long Island.  Besides being the type of gal who orders herself a bag of scratch-made vegan cookies for no Read more…


Manhattan Vegan Option Cupcake Crawl!

Sometimes–in the world of restaurants–a lone “vegan option” beats an “all-vegan” menu. But would this be true of bakeries too? On a bright Saturday afternoon, a friend and I accumulated research on this query, visiting 6 omnivorous bakeries in the isle of Manhattan in the name of deliciousness and gluttony. Read more…
