A Weekend in DC, Vegan Style

[August 16]

Though there was a bit of drama, rain, and displacement, I had a great weekend in DC.  I spent an day with my friend Benoit that started with a vegan breakfast at Java Green Cafe that was delicious.  We split some faux chicken sandwich with avocado and some sweet sauce that was so good.  After [...]

Trois Pommes Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Are Here!

[August 4]

Over Passover I mentioned this superamazing patisserie in my hood called Trois Pommes here.  The owner was supernice and their goodies are always calling my name as I stroll by.  Unfortunately, Trois Pommes is not a vegan bakery:(  Fortunately, I did pop in there today for some of their superrefreshing herbal raspberry tea and noticed [...]

Babycakes Doughnuts at Liza’s Engagement Party

[June 30]

This past saturday evening, we celebrated my sister Liza’s engagement with a big family dinner and then a party to follow. We dined at Whym on the upper west side and while it is not vegan or even vegetarian, they prepared a fabulous vegan meal for myself, Liza, and Richie.  In place of dessert, Liza [...]

Philly Horizons

[June 29]

This past Friday evening, while Richie and Benoit attended Phish Concert #2, Maddy and I went for a night on the town in Philly.  I had made reservations at Horizons Restaurant at 8:15p and we had such a fabulous time, we closed the place down! It was hands down the best vegan meal I’ve every [...]

Sweet Freedom Deliciousness

[June 28]

While in Philly Friday afternoon, I made it a point to drag Richie and Benoit along with me to the Sweet Freedom Bakery.  It is Philadelphia’s only completely vegan, gluten-free, allergen friendly bakery and everything we tasted was melt in your mouth delicious (and let me tell you, we went a little crazy tasting!). We [...]

The Taco Truck

[May 28]

Last weekend we trucked out to Hoboken (pun intended;) to visit the superdelicious and uberfabulous Taco Truck.  Just a few months old and already engaging crowds, The Taco Truck is a new venture from my old friend Shachar and her husband Jay. While The Taco Truck isn’t vegan, it is about as environmentally responsible as [...]

Bark Brooklyn

[May 27]

My friend Michelle and her son Ike (a.k.a. Avi’s boyfriend) met up with us the other day for some play time and lunch. Though it was entirely in the opposite direction of their home from where we were kicking the ball around, Michelle and Ike trouped over to Bark with us for some veggie dogs [...]

Knish Sandwich, Um, Yum!

[April 8]

As I have the chance to explore and eat my way through my new neighborhood, Park Slope, Brooklyn I’m finding so so many amazing little places. Last weekend we were on the hunt for a veggie burger and some fries (Avi’s favorite snack) and stumbled upon this tiny (or what looked tiny) little restaurant a [...]
