NYC’s newest lesbian venue and only lesbian restaurant – I had to go of course! THE DALLOWAY. My friend was visiting from London and wanted to catch dinner and drinks tonight so off we went to SOHO’s latest talk of the town. The Dalloway, name inspired from a Virginia Woolf novel, was all that and more than I had expected. […]

V-Spot Cafe is my FAVORITE VEGAN SPOT in Brooklyn! I seem to go there on the regular. I thought they were just open Thursday through Sunday which was a bit odd but now I see they are open daily. I simply cannot leave there without having the summer roll and the kale tostadas– it’s just impossible. If you would like […]

Franchia could definitely be at the top of one’s vegan dining list! I sometimes forget that vegan restaurants do exist outside of my West and East Village comfort zones. It’s definitely worth the trip to Park Avenue and 34th! The teas alone are amazing and Franchia, as well as it’s sister restaurant Hangawi (vegetarian) are well-known for their Korean food! […]

TEANY has been on my go to list for months– finally made it over to the lower east side. Teany is located at 90 Rivington between Ludlow and Orchard.

I almost felt unsafe. First it took us 10 miles and 20 minutes of circling out of the Queens Center Mall and it’s surrounding triple lanes […]

The challenge was on!  It’s that time of year (still on my birthday week for the record!) San Gennaro is one of those things that you really aren’t sure why you go but you go anyway! It’s the Italian feast in Little Italy, NYC.  I asked on Facebook if anyone thought I would find anything vegan and the answer was […]

John’s Pizzeria Vegan?  seitan alla rosa What?  First of all.. I am a village girl and an Italian one at that so John’s Pizzeria- hello.. which one? Apparently if you are googling away you better type in John’s of 12th Street or the word vegan. Vegan and Italian- not necessarily two words one would generally see together. I don’t eat […]

Trust the process of life.  I have heard this affirmation many times, practiced it and try to life by it. I’m not quite sure why then I have a weird relationship with food but I’m sure it goes way back and for no appartent reason really. By this point, being well into vegan eating at vegan and non vegan places- […]
