Rawvolution N.Y.C.
Rawvolution in New York City’s East Village is the baby of raw chef and author Matt Amsden. The small counter cafe serves up delicious raw foods for the price-savvy. And with its food delivery service, Rawvolution provides accessible and healthful food for all. After CP shared the lead a few weeks back, it was time to give [...]
At Week’s End
Organic Village‘s Shiitake-Veg “Burger”. Quite good for a raw version of a burger, however, after horrendous service I’ll likely not return to this place. We ate in the car so to escape the mess of stress within the tiny restaurant. Finally tried Dunwell Donuts at Champs Family Bakery, which is now home to Bone Shakers [...]
Eastern Island Retreat
I spent the week at an island retreat. Not an exotic island by any means. I have lived on this geographic island for 97% of my life [fraction to decimal conversion: 32/33 = 0.96969697], the latter 9 in Brooklyn proper, its western tip. But with a warm and cozy home to station at, time and [...]
Dear Oklahoma…
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 to waste a good deal [...]
Interstate 70 to State Number 8
I prefer to shop in musky, dank barns; I like the effort and reward of the hunt. A rack of all of the same thing is very unappealing to me. This is why I have thrift shopped since I was old enough to make my own money. Unfortunately the state of thrifting for apparel these [...]
On Route 66
Though we’d left TX behind spent the evening just west of Oklahoma City, we needed to drive through the panhandle to reach our next destination, Santa Fe, New Mexico. A good 7 to 8 hours drive from where we had woken up, we pit-stopped in Amarillo, Texas at Eat-Rite, a 19,000 square feet “health promotion [...]
VeganMoFo #20: The KZ Vegan NYC-77
I began the Melissa Bastian‘s Vegan New York 100 a few days back. After making it nearly to the end I decided I’d make my own! Of course there is some overlap. Here it is, the KZ Vegan NYC 77, in no particular order. 1. Slice‘s Simpleton, subbed with Daiya2. The Seitan Picatta at Candle [...]
I am One Lucky Duck
One Lucky Duck juice and takeaway is Pure Food & Wine‘s to-go counter. Like PF&W, the high-end raw joint, One Lucky Duck is all raw but the focus is on sweet treats, quick juices and snacks. And much like the slew of eateries doing this type of thing (Candle 79/Candle Cafe, Blossom/Cafe Blossom, that Zen [...]
Back In the Seattle Again
From author Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, on the floor of P.C.C. Natural Market in Fremont. River House CreperieWest SeattleRive House is a darling little creperie right off the West Seattle Bridge that offers a vegan gluten-free batter as a base for all their sweet and savory crepes. I opted for a simple strawberry and banana [...]
Raw Soul?
When I think of raw food, I think of fresh vegetable layers, ground nuts and soaked beans; the upscale Manhattan address and accompanying price tag. Never does soul food come to mind… and yet Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s new raw restaurant, Rockin’ Raw, fuses raw and soul food with great success! The first ever “live-vegan-raw-organic-peruvian-new-orleanian-creole-cuisine-with-soul-from-williamsburg-brooklyn-to-you” restaurant to [...]
The Hidden Vegan Gem of Ulster County
Must-eat Day Trip series, Number 3A blog series featuring the country’s best upscale vegan restaurants. There is a New York that is not New York City, not a surrounding suburb and not within the its commuter path. Many call it all “upstate”, simplifying it into one homogeneous lump of land. But spending a wonderful weekend [...]
Who’s scruffy looking?
I was 5 hours away from a full day of juice fasting when the celebrations on Endor ended. After Episodes IV, V and VI, Darth Vader’s pyre alight and stormtrooper helmets now percussion instruments, the Star Wars Juice Fasting Marathon was over. We had come so far. But the morning’s enthusiasm had waned mid-day. Christmas crafting [...]
