Z Pizza in the West Village has Daiya for their pizza. The girls and I split 2 extra large pies. Now our stomaches hurt.The size and shape of the pizza made us nostalgic. So did the paper plates. With the kitchen sink on our pies, I realize I am a pizza purist. This happens when [...]
Lunch: It’s What’s For Dinner {Dunch Report}
It’s too hot for 3 meals a day. Here are my recent dunch highlights. Urban Rustic makes a mean Club Sandwich, the all-vegan Unclub. I’ve gone on about it before, yes. [Tofurky, Vegenaise, Dijon mustard, strips of tempeh bacon, local tomatoes and sprouts in between three slices of soft, toasted spelt bread.] Nothing fancy, I know, [...]
Pizza Truck
At a wedding reception nestled in the country roads of New Preston, Connecticut I encountered a mobile pizza operation, fluent in veganism and perfectly willing to stray from the standard menu of pizza favorites. Though most guests were impressed by the Old World Pizza Truck’s selection of high-end wood-fired pizza options, a basic marinara with some [...]

A Nibble Here, A Nibble There
What a delight to find Caserta Vecchia on a nice spring-I-don’t- want-to-go-underground-to-the-subway-yet walk after work. It quickly made my list of things to do. Caserta Vecchia, named after a medieval village in Italy, offers cashew-based vegan cheese substitution on all their pizzas. Again, indicating the coolness of a neighborhood. Cinnamon cake in shape of a [...]

I Am Never Eating Daiya Again.
Since Daiya‘s first buzz in March ’09 to my first taste of it in August (read here), the vegan wonder has turned the vegan cheese world upside down. Now it is the winner of VegNews’s Product of the Year, although Vegan Gourmet (Follow Your Heart) won the reader’s choice. I have watched area eateries thrive [...]
Vegan Cupcakes For Haiti
With a generous contribution of ingredient mula from J. “Whoa Whoa Whoa” Roth and a pint of midnight oil, I whipped up 2 batches of vegan cupcakes (VCTOTW‘s basic vanilla with chocolate ganache and basic chocolate with buttercream) for Vegan Drinks‘ Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti. Said cupcakes were made after a full day of [...]
[Vegan] Heaven Isn’t Too Far Away
Last time I was at 3 Brothers, the very vegan-friendly pizzeria on Long Island, I was floored. This time, with the arrival of their comprehensive vegan menu, I was positively giddy. Not to be over-dramatic, but 3 Brothers is, quite possibly, vegan heaven on Earth. The thing of fairy tales and folklore. The many pages [...]
