Day 1: The Best of Central Florida

The Sanctum has a fresh, vibrant vegan breakfast items that are the perfect start for a long day of sites. Any place with a mural like that is bound to deliver on plant-based goodies… equally important, kick-butt French press coffee equivalent to nine cups of hotel’s brown, hot water. Normally I Read more…


Grape Stomp / Lagusta’s Luscious / New World Home Cooking
{Upstate Adventures}

Robibero Family Vinyards in New Paltz, New York had its annual grape-stomping festival this weekend, the first weekend of autumn. It was the perfect excuse to run north for the day with CP. After managed expectations, I was delighted by the peaceful, bucolic property and the opportunity to check another item off my bucket Read more…


Candle 79, And Now Some NYC Love

With the start of the school year, I am in Brooklyn everyday again. Urban machinery and subterranean air have united me with 8 million more parts. I remember why I love her. And I remember why I hate her. She’s like me–impractical and strained while magnificent in her own norms. She has Read more…


On V.V. Summer Assignment, Day 4: Bluegrass to the Blue Ridge

Another jam-packed day ahead of me and needing the boost, I had the tart from Louisville’s Flora Vegan Treats for breakfast. Clearly by observing Exhibit A below you can see it was light and crisply satisfying–like you want these kinds of tarts to be. The filling was blackberry, the ideal partner for the lemon zested Read more…


Cheese From the Trees

I was so delighted to learn that Dr. Cow, delicious vegan cheesemakers, had opened up the front of their production space, creating the area’s first specialty vegan cheese shop. With cheese from the trees on the rise, it is a delight to visit and chat with the sweet Ms. Dr. Cow… Read more…


Nougat / Caramel / Marshmallow in the Vegan World

Every now and again I make an order from Vegan Essentials. When there are enough new sweet, packaged treats I want to try. Here is my latest order’s goodies: Desiderio makes vegan treats in Grand Rapids, Michigan, though the branding and packaging seems European. That’s because the founder and chocolatier is from 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…


Vegan in Westchester County!

Even though this born and raised New Yorker has travel to the far reaches of the Us of A to sample vegan eats, I haven’t really explored the vegan options in Westchester County, New York City’s northern suburb. I am usually passing through early in the morning  on the way Read more…


Chocolate Makes Things Better.

As I go on the 5th day without power, I’ll bring you a sweet picture spread of a recent VeganEssentials‘ order: a box of vegan chocolates from Sjaak’s, a worldly chocolatier specializing in vegan organic fine chocolates. It arrived early Tuesday, quite suprisingly, as I hunted down an open grocery store Read more…


Ninth Avenue: Vegan Heaven

For four months my vegan gal pals have been scheduling and rescheduling a trip to Cocoa V. Finally: we came, saw and left with bloated bellies. But first… Blossom De Jour, high-end Blossom’s “shrewd” fast food sister, has recently taken space next to NYC vegan landmark, Cocoa V. So naturally, Read more…


On Route 66

Though we’d left TX behind spent the evening just west of Oklahoma City, we needed to drive through the panhandle to reach our next destination, Santa Fe, New Mexico. A good 7 to 8 hours drive from where we had woken up, we pit-stopped in Amarillo, Texas at Eat-Rite, a Read more…
