Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Purple People Eater
I feel immense pressure when visiting a new and all-vegan eatery. So many things to choose from, I wish I had like 9 stomaches, like the cows do. I have the uncanny knack of taking risks with new menus and often end up ordering the “wrong” thing. I do this in many avenues in my [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
How To Date A Vegan Food Blogger
Pala means “shovel” in Italian. But on the Lower East Side, Pala means “absolutely delicious Italian restaurant with a new all-vegan menu, a dedicated fryer and Daiya“. After perusing its online menu of pasta and pizza, I knew I would have to put a visit to Pala at the top of my to-eat list. So after [...]
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 [...]
Cocoa V: Chocolate & Cheese (like that Ween album)
Sometimes, because I live in New York City, I pretend I have hit the big time. (I certainly have not, though I have miraculously landed a job last week amidst a city-wide hiring freeze.) Fiscal irresponsibility is a very NYC trait. Surviving a week, a semester, a milestone in the big, mean city makes an [...]
FAUX FAIL
You know when you just can’t decide on what to eat for lunch, like when your cravings are all over the place and you are too damn hungry to settle on one choice and you want something that’s familiar and easy and hearty… but there are all these other factors you have to throw in, [...]
Le Pain Quotidien (say like Pepe La Pew)
It is most definitely soup weather. Rustic, roof-scratching bread weather too. Luckily Le Pain Quotidien, the global high-end chain, is a few doors down from the mysteriously closed Peacefood Cafe and was able to satisfy my hankering. I meant to include La Pain’s Upper East Side location in my report a few weeks back but [...]
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 793. [...]
VeganMoFo #18: Peace, Dude, Cafe
I have been meaning to check this place out since Ms. CP clued me in on it. So en route campus one afternoon, after a particular grueling morning, I decided to treat myself. The all-vegan Peacefood Cafe, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, was just the spot to awaken my tired senses. There I gobbled up [...]
