Smorgasburg in Prospect Park
Black Rican Vegan

I have been meaning to check out Black Rican Vegan‘s Puerto Rican and soul food for quite some time now. Now that they are part of Prospect Park’s Smorgasburg‘s vendors, I knew I’d be finally getting my mitts on there scrumptious looking food after months of Insta-stalking. Despite it being Read more…


Catching Up at Willow

Willow, in Manhattan’s Chelsea, has some great elevated eats. Though they are still fine-tuning their operation, it’s definitely worth a stop. Drinks. Not mind-blowing, so I likely wouldn’t opt for libations if I visited again. They really pad the bill! I didn’t like the flatbread. It wasn’t till just a Read more…


PB Bistro & Bar in Greenwich, Rhode Island

PB Bistro & Bar in Greenwich, Rhode Island was a must-visit as I snaked back south from Massachusetts. “PB” stands for plant-based. “Bistro” for hearty, comforting fare. And “Bar” as in thoughtful libations with housemade components. More specifically there was this M*tha Clucka sandwich I had to get my hands Read more…


The V.V. Vegan Fried Chicken Showdown 🍿, Battle 2: Chickpea & Olive vs. Sol Sips

I’ve appreciated the burger wizardry of Chickpea & Olive for many years… and was excited to try Sol Sips, an all-vegan eatery in Bushwick owned by a 23 year old that has a lot of buzz. But this is a vegan victuals food battle! It’s the food that does the Read more…


The Bao Super Bowl in the
🍿 Vegan Fried Chicken Showdown

Ever since I started my Vegan Fried Chicken Showdown, my brackets have been in flux. I just have to settle on them and create a second round if new eateries rear their fried goodness. The most updated version is at the end of this post, but first, a twist…. a Read more…


Austin, The Food
Day 5 in Texas, Part 2

Austin has a tremendous quantity of vegan food options. It’s actually a bit overwhelming! And I only had 3 meals. So breakfast first and the first of many food cart options. Biscuits and Groovy can veganize their entire menu. So, like the sign reminds you, don’t forget to say you Read more…


Ramen Hood in New York

Walking in Manhattan’s SoHo on a bright and delicious Saturday afternoon is a hellish experience.  If I am there to run an errand (Did you know that Swatch gives your swatch free batteries for life?), you’ll find me walking in the bike lane or along side the parked cars as Read more…


5 Boroughs in 5 Days: Manhattan

The V.V. Manhattan tag count is pretty darn high on this here blog.  And though I have been escaping into Manhattan since I was just a girl, there is always more to see.  And though we’ve grown apart, I would spend a day with her, tucking our past away and welcoming Read more…


Visiting the Isle of Manhattan

A trip to Manhattan to visit to all-vegan eateries started with killing time at By Chloe’s Sweets shop. I was impressed with their extensive selection. Pies, bars, cookies, layer cakes, cupcakes… Everything sitting pretty.  I got a couple of old fashioned chocolate chip cookies. They were reminiscent of Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. Read more…


Impending Summer

With design ideas for my next year classroom fresh in my brain, I took another trip to my happy place: Materials for the Arts. Light summer drafts to cut the deep-friend delights of the Pickle Shack is the perfect end to a sun-drenched day. Also pictured: a roasted asparagus, pickled Read more…


Eat Your Heart Out [Busy Day Eats]

Rainbow chard. Salads aid fridge turnover: arugula; roasted white turnip, golden beet & carrot; and watermelon salad Chipotle’s “sofritas” in a way-too-overstuffed burrito with lime and cilantro brown rice and guacamole. Heh, they said “vegan.” Pre-party eats at Pickle Shack in Brooklyn: fried oyster mushrooms with cocktail sauce. Cecelia’s “ricotta” Read more…


306 {vegan supper club}

Every once and awhile, I splurge one of them fancy pants supper club dinners. And almost alway with fellow veghead CP. We find some justification for the splurge. Maybe there is a birthday that past a few weeks ago. Maybe there is some emotional epiphany that needs a proportionate intake 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…
