Plus My Fairy Costume! 🧚

It was that time of the year again, time to find our way to the New York Renaissance Faire for festive merry-making. This year, a first: I would be a fairy, complete with a crafted headdress, top and bottom. A mess of nature and iridescence, the trunk was an explosion Read more…


Osteria 57

Finding a place to get a drink before 5pm is kind of a difficult mission in Manhattan now. It is a little cringey how the pandemic has altered it so. So this is chips and guacamole and an overpriced drink from the only place we could find that was open Read more…


Cecconi’s in Brooklyn,

Vegan Eats in the Rockaways, Winter Version

Visiting the Rockaways off-season you get a better sense of its lure. The folks who live in this area have created a very special community, a community that one might believe they’d need to move far from New York City to obtain. It was my privilege to spend the afternoon Read more…


Vegan at The New York Renaissance Faire 🏰 βš”πŸ›‘

New York’s Renaissance Faire, the vibrant crossroad of many-an era-specific subculture, in Tuxedo, New York is wonderful way to spend a September Saturday. There are pirates, elves, faeries, wenches, princesses, knights… the perfection of the space and all its details brings revelers, yes, but more it brings authenticity, folks who Read more…

With vegan options popping up and expanding all over the place, my vegan radar has a constant and continuous bleep-bleep. From new eateries to new options and special events, I wish my appetite can keep up. But when I saw the invite to The Refuge‘s Vegan Fest, I knew I Read more…


I β™₯ Vegan New York

Will walk for vegan food:Β On a beautiful afternoon, I strolled from Brooklyn to Manhattan to check out Nix, a newΒ casual restaurant from Michelin-starred chef John Fraser. The attention to detail–from the space to the water to the service to the, of course, the menu–was impeccable. First, from my walk over Read more…


V.V. Does A.C.

It seems the world gets more and more vegan-friendly everyday. As a vegan food blogger, the surge in vegan options near, kinda near, far and very far is overwhelming. From big cities to small locales, I can’t keep up. But I try… And I looove trying. It’s very delicious. My Read more…


Dirt Candy Revisited

I went to Dirt Candy back in 2012 when they were a tiny, dark, bustling space. Sadly, the tiny, dark, bustling space was all I could remember years later. But now–Dirt Candy is in a much, much larger space. It was quiet and relaxed on our Tuesday evening visit. There Read more…


The Gorge and Vegan Cheese Boards

Besides being beautiful, New York’s Finger Lakes Region has some spectacular vegan options. Like Veraisons, the restaurant located on Glenora Winery in Dundee. Honestly, this place was our main reason for this trip. After discovering theΒ vegan options on its seasonal menus, I have been watching themΒ change. With an exciting summer Read more…


Winter Dins: A Vegan Victuals Dinner Party

Vegan Queens Reporting

Queens is more often an in-between. But once my bookmarked leads were a bit brimming, it was time to purge with a vegan tour of Queens, starting at Richmond Hill’sΒ Veggie Castle, theΒ Queens version of the long defunct Veggie Castle on Flatbush avenue in Brooklyn.Β  I feel lucky to have experienced Read more…


Summer in Paris, Lovely Lagusta’s Savory Dinner Series

It seems like eons ago that Ms. CP sent me a link to chocolatier Lagusta’s (of Lagusta’s Luscious fame)Β savory dinner series. Since then I have been occasionally pouring over the menu highlights of our reserved Summer in Paris dinner. What can be better than being served 8-12 (!!) high-end, all-vegan Read more…


VeganSecretSupper {Goodbye, Brooklyn Part 3}

Chef Merida hosts Vegan Secret Supper-s in her apartment in Brooklyn. And a 4-course, from-scratch, all-vegan, local, and organic high-end break from cleaning out the last of my life in Brooklyn is just what I needed. Like me, Vegan Secret Supper (VSS) is moving on from Brooklyn. The Chef is Read more…


The Aphrodisiac Prix Fixe

The regular menu at Pawtucket’s Garden Grille, a vegetarian restaurant north of downtown Providence, was wholly promising. I very much looked forward to dining there, the most asterisked entry of my Providence hit-list. But in town for heart-day, we would feast on their special 5-course prix fixe menu designed exclusively Read more…
