Going Vegan

Black Flamingo

Recently discovered this Williamsburg gem - Black Flamingo is a bar serving vegetarian tacos. Every taco on the menu can be made vegan, and they make their own cashew cheese and almond parmesan.

The Tacos range from a Bahn Mi taco to a taco filled with latke and vegan cheese. I would most recommend “The Jam” or “The Palms,” though if you’re there you might want to try one of each (like we did).

All the way from Australia!? That’s awesome!

CHAMPS: Pretty much my favorite restaurant in NYC is Champs Diner in Brooklyn. It’s a completely vegan diner with traditional diner food like vegan mozzarella sticks, milkshakes, red velvet pancakes, and more! Check it out: http://www.champsdiner.com/

BLYTHE ANN’S: Also there is an all-vegan ice cream parlor in Manhattan with cakebatter soft-serve, and all sorts of delicious flavors and vegan sundaes. They’re between names right now but people are calling it “Blythe Anns” http://www.yelp.com/biz/blythe-anns-new-york

Van Leeuwen’s: Also Van Leeuwen’s is an icecream store (there are several around the city) that has INCREDIBLE vegan ice cream. They also do cold-brew floats, and vegan sundaes. Van Leeuwen’s was also opened by an Australian Woman! 

DUNWELL DONUTS: The best vegan donuts ever ever ever. Its also near champs so you can check it out at the same time!

Have you heard about Aquafaba!? 

“Vegan meringue is just one of the awesome uses for aquafaba – the juice that you’d normally drain and toss from cooked beans. This discovery is kind of revolutionizing vegan cooking, and it’s beautiful.” ~Glue & Glitter

Glue & Glitter has written a fabulous article on Aquafaba and it’s uses including a round-up of meringue, and other recipes it can be used for!
