On the way back to the Brooklyn area, a quick stop off my to-do list… heading over to an abandoned bowling alley before there is nothing much left. The alleys were completely ripped up, stacked haphazardly about the floor. Stray pins, balls and bowling shoes occasionally illuminated by my flashlight, Read more…

Happy to be right across the street from Cider Belly Doughnuts for ease of breakfast fulfillment–for both vegans and not-vegans. Also, an oat milk latte from Dunkin’ because of convenience. I bought two for me… thinking I’d have one now and later. Buuuut, it was more now and now on Read more…

The Hollow Bar & Kitchen serves up some seitan wings, along with other vegan options, at their happening space in downtown Albany, NY. So I had to partake after a day of driving. The seitan comes from Halo Vegan Food Company, a wholesale supplier of vegan “meats.” Though they do Read more…

Staying close by in Albany, I took a quick trip in Albany Rural Cemetery because my previous visit was snow-blanketed. And I am pretty nostalgic for cemetery visiting. But soon the Fall will give way to the cold and it’ll be cemetery season once again. Here are the ladies of Read more…

I was on my way home… but not without hitting some pretty awesome vegan options as I headed south. Starting in the Lake George section of New York. I was delighted to find an all-vegan sandwich shop so close to my motel room, Birch Bark Eatery. Oh how I love Read more…

It’s always nice to stumble upon an all-vegan eatery. There’s a whimsy freedom that is a break from scrutinizing a menu. Though I love thinking about food, picturing a menu’s peak potential after my alterations and specifications, I forget that the decision of what to eat can be easy and Read more…
X’s to O’s Vegan Bakery is the capitol area’s only all-vegan bakery. Home to many-a delicious sweet treats, the ladies at X’s to O’s serve up cupcakes, donuts, Twinkie-like cakes, whoopie pies, as well as smoothies and now brunch… which means I will definitely will be back! I order a Read more…
Little Anthony’s is a pretty standard-seeming pizza parlor. Wood decor, a map of Italy on the wall, green/white/red, and an inviting counter with pizzeria-type guys (My definition of pizzeria guys: aimable, hard-working, Italian)… but they have a menu filled with vegan options! Vegan pizza… vegan heros (called submarines up here)… Read more…

Being tossed a couple of days to kill, I decided to spend my Rosh Hashanah out of the New York City area. Stricken with severe wanderlust at times, I need to get away once and awhile. I do this a lot. Ever since I got my first car, free time Read more…
