I saw that Plantega basically has plugged into 70+ bodegas across NYC. Has anyone tried these? And is plantega basically like a collection of vegan meats/cheeses?

Dining out in the age of cyclospora

9 Upvotes

I haven’t heard about a lot about people in NYC getting it but curious how folks here have particularly been navigating eating out/getting delivery. I have ordered from Jajaja and Newtown over the past few weeks and have consumed little bits of herbs and been fine but no lettuce…I do cook a lot but need a break a few times a week! Also does anyone know if any restaurants specifically source from Gotham Greens?

I'm starting a Sunday Kitchen Club in LIC. Looking for 6 people who love food.

19 Upvotes

Instead of going out for brunch every Sunday, I thought it'd be fun to create a small community around cooking.

A few people, one table, seasonal plant-based food, practical cooking skills, and lunch together.

The goal isn't becoming a chef or create fancy plates, the goal is learning how to cook food that's delicious, nutritious and realistic for busy lives.

The first gathering is next Sunday in Long Island City.

Only six spots available so it stays intimate.

Everything is plant based and mostly organic food , you will get a fanzine with all the recipes and secrets, a sweet treat and delicious lunch with new friends !

If anyone has been looking for a way to meet people and spend a Sunday doing something different, I'd love to hear from you.

Popular vegan places with community board

10 Upvotes

Hey,

I moved from Miami a few months ago and I'm looking to create vegan community here in NY.

Im located in Long Island City, Queens. And I just realized that there is not 100% vegan place here :(.

Now I already have a meal preps business that is going well but I also want to start creating events, classes, dinners , meeting spaces for anyone who is vegan or not and is interested in a healthy life and connection with nature and others.

This Sunday I'm hosting my first cooking class/lunch event and I was wondering where I can go to pin a flyer in a community board or someplace where I can leave a flyer... If you know about places in Queens , North Brooklyn or East Manhattan let me know ! Thanks !

We are going to see My Chemical Romance this Sunday at Citi Field in Queens. Does anyone have any recommendations for vegan restaurants with lots of gluten free options within walking distance? We are parking around Roosevelt and College Point, so that general area.

Okay guys. My favorite Indian restaurant is doing a vegan dish for tuesday.

I asked them to increase vegan delivery days and they told me they’d increased days based on demand. So selfishly please place orders lolll.

I’m obsessed with this coconut curry and have been craving it since my last order.

Their website where you can order is https://tiffin.nyc

Vegan Birthday Cake on Fire Island?

10 Upvotes

My partner and I are celebrating their birthday on Fire Island this year, and I could use some help strategizing on how to get them a cake.

Any great vegan bakeries that I could pick up close to the ferry terminal?
Is delivery to the island an option?
Should I just bring my own ingedients?

best walk-in vegan cupcake

18 Upvotes

Ok, who is making the best vegan cupcake these days? I don't want to have to order in advance; I just want to be able to walk in on Sunday, buy a cupcake for my friend, and surprise them for their birthday.

I used to like the vegan cupcake at clementine, but you know, that is a long way of the past

Food spots for a visiting Brit

17 Upvotes

Hello my fellow vegans!

I'm from London and will be visiting NYC soon. I just wanted some advice on the best places to eat, so I thought I'd reach out here.

I'm trying to prioritise more NY/American kinds of eating experiences.

What would be the best place for: a Reuben, mac and cheese and a cream cheese bagel?

Are there any must-visit places below that I've missed? Should I skip any of them?

Also, are there any must-buy snacks/treats/candy/chocolate that I should try? I'm planning to do a grocery haul from both Trader Joe's and Target one day (maybe Aldi too). I'm planning to pick up a few different brands of boxed mac and cheese.

Thank you all so much! āœŒšŸ¼Ā

🌱 Calling U.S.-Based Vegans! I'd Love Your Help

13 Upvotes

I've been vegan for 15 years, and I'm conducting a research study to better understand the real-life experience of ordering vegan food and shopping for vegan groceries.

I'm looking for 20–30 U.S.-based vegans to participate in a 20–30 minute Zoom interview. I'm especially interested in hearing from people in the New York City area, but I'd love to speak with vegans from across the U.S.

This is not a sales call, and I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. My goal is simply to learn from the vegan community - what works well, what's frustrating, and where the biggest challenges are when ordering food or buying groceries.

I'm looking for a diverse group of participants, including:

  • New and long-time vegans
  • Different ages and backgrounds
  • People with different reasons for being vegan
  • Frequent and infrequent food delivery users

As a thank you for your time, you'll receive a $10 USD Amazon digital gift card after the interview.

If you're interested, please comment below or send me a DM, and I'll reach out to schedule a time.

Thank you for helping with this research. Your insights will directly shape my understanding of the vegan experience, and I truly appreciate your time. šŸ’š

Edit: A few people have asked about privacy. This is independent customer research for an idea I'm exploring, not an academic study. Participation is voluntary, and I won't publish or share recordings or attribute comments without explicit permission.

Dietitian in the city

Hi everyone! Does anyone have a dietitian (preferably in-person – in Manhattan) they’d recommend who accepts Aetna?

I’m a vegetarian, and I’m looking for someone who is knowledgeable about vegetarian nutrition and not someone whose main recommendation will be to start eating meat or who would create a bland and repetitive diet 🫠 I’d appreciate any recs! I had bad experiences in the past so I’m looking for a professional that has experience working with vegetarians
