Vegan Crêpes, Finally

Though I only attempted them once or twice, I couldn’t understand why my honed pancake skills had not made the transfer. I never flipped a successful crêpe. Being easily discouraged is a trait I’ve fought hard to overcome in my life, but I suppose failure in the form of mangled Read more…


Vegan in Fairbanks, Alaska
All the Lunches

Round two of my vegan eats in Fairbanks, Alaska! Starting with East Ramp Pizza and their dreamy vegan ricotta. It’s made in-house, free of packages, and so a thousand times better.

Hello Manhattan

I am so happy to see Manhattan’s pulse return. Visiting during the height of the pandemic, I didn’t recognize her.

Fogwood & Fig Opens!

I am very excited about Fogwood & Fig getting their own space.  So excited I went to their Grand Opening!  You see, “Grand Opening” are hostile words for an introvert. It means people. But people in Port Jervis are far less to endure than say Brooklyn.  So we braved our Read more…


November’s Blur

For perspective, a stop at Long Island National Cemetery during menial errands on Veterans Day. So many lives. Savory crepes at Lil Choc Apothecary before Choir! Choir! Choir! in Brooklyn.

Oregon Trails

The day’s activities would involve a pitchfork and a wheel barrel.

Read more…


All-Vegan in Brooklyn

New York City has its own all-vegan creperie now, Little Choc Apothecary. The bustling, pretty little shop is a welcome addition to NYC’s all-vegan community–which is a bit lacking.

Oregonian Eats [Bend, Eugene, Portland]

Pleased to be finally eating a healthy breakfast, my day of Oregon eats began in Bend at Mother’s Juice Cafe. This place fit right in with Bend, a progressive mix of aging hippies and idealistic youngins.

Summer in Paris, Lovely Lagusta’s Savory Dinner Series

Brooklyn Vegan Outtakes {Part 1}

Healthy Nibbles, on Flatbush & Prospect Place, is a cute conter sandwich and juice spot that’s kind of awkwardly connected to a frame shop.

Vegan in Toronto, Part 2: Hibiscus Sweet & Savory Crepes and Heavenly Bunners

Last minute low-ball bidding on Priceline is a skill I can add to my resume. Being V.I.V.B. (very important vegan bloggers), we needed a safe haven to recuperate from a long day of eating. Luckily, the boutique Indigo Hotel gave us a $100 room for about $50 bucks. After some restful Read more…

Sunday Brunch at Rockville Centre, Long Island’s 3 Brothers… after spying their brunch menu last week I knew I had to go sooner than later. It wasn’t just a option of a Read more…


I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore

Deep Thoughts: While I was driving south down the I-35 today, in the “road zone”, I began to think about… [wait for it]…human beings. I began to think about how it was that a lower order of primates evolved to eventually have me sitting snug in a moving machine, barreling Read more…

Food Homecoming

Throughout my 8-week stay in Southeast Asia, I pined for New York comsumables as if long lost lovers. Foods that supplemented my hungry senses short walks or subway rides away ranked high on the collective pang unit of my new daily life. But, arriving to New York and whisked to Read more…
