Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
{Sandwich Wars} Point: Urban Rustic
Delivery options are the cornerstone of any city’s offerings. And with the ease of online ordering, a busy gal with an empty fridge can satisfy a whim almost too easily. In my locale of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, there are many cuisines to chose from. But what I need most is a hearty and reliable ‘go-to’ for [...]
What’s the Best Vegan Burger in New York City? [Part 1]
That is the question. A good, hearty and satisfying veggie burger is an occasional must. And luckily it they’re pretty much a menu staple at both veg and omni eateries alike. But where to go? A group of vegan field reporters and I bring you this expansive report on the good, the bad and the [...]
Food Miscellany: Catch Up
Back at 3 Brothers again. I plan to take full advantage of this place’s proximity to me. There is so much to try too. This time, we got a little fancy-pants and ordered the eggplant rollatini appetizer, which was as huge as a stand alone meal. What I love about 3 Brothers is how generous [...]
2010 So Far: Gluttony
There’s something about 1/1 that motivates change. Yes, I subscribe to that New Years philosophy of renewal and growth, mostly because I appreciate the year as a unit of measurement, appreciate a set span of time to classify with a numerical code, appreciate some kind of end-point. I remain awed by 2009, what I managed [...]
Snew / Bone Shaking Brunch
I always thought the past tense of snow ought to be snew.
Anyway, New York got hit with its first layer of winter snow this weekend. (Quick aside: Snow makes everyone completely mad; have you ever noticed this?) Venturing out for brunch at Bone Shakers, I got to enjoy the fluffy white fresh and newness before [...]

Br♥♥klyn Vegetarian, Part 2: Prospect Heights/Prospect Lefferts Garden
On a blustery December morning, the first of its kind, 3 intrepid souls wandered into the depths of Brooklyn by hoof for Part 2 of a thorough borough scour of veggie delights. Congregating at the gorgeous Brooklyn museum of Art, we headed down Washington avenue to Natural Blend, a Ital hotspot renowed for its cheap [...]
Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Guy
So there is this guy who bakes cookies. He makes them and sets up an inflatable green couch somewhere in New York City and gives them out the strangers. He is the Free Cookie Guy and I am a stranger. It’s a match made in heaven! Further, all his cookies are vegan. He doesn’t advertise [...]
Br♥♥klyn: Rastafarian/Vegetarian, Part 1, Crown Heights
I once lived in the far end of south Brooklyn in the isolated residential neighborhood of Marine Park. There: Brooklyn has yards, garages, houses, a need for a car and lots of nights in. Here, in Williamsburg and by way of the G/F trains’ connections to other borough hot spots, this hip Brooklyn has bars, [...]
VeganMoFo #26: What Would the Community Think?
I have never been to Urban Rustic, the localvore sustainable cafe and grocer just a few steps from Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s splendorous McCarren Park. They’ve been around for many years now, with their well-designed menu and website looking all ideal and awesome. And I must say I am impressed. Their space is built from Adirondack wood [...]
