Lily's Vegan Food Pantry

51 Upvotes

I just finally made my way to the May Wah/Lily's Vegan Pantry Store, and WOW, it's so good! I have placed orders to be shipped from there a few times, but have always wanted to go and shop there in person.

They have all of the great vegan meat subs that you get in the restaurants, and some prepared foods and a good selection of all kinds of other vegan meats and snacks, pantry items, sauces, etc.. I saw but forgot to get a bottle of vegan fish sauce, so I'm trying to go back soon for that.

Highly recommend, also they had freshly made (still warm) rice balls up by the register that were great even the next day.

Long time listener, first time caller here.

I usually make my birthday cake but this year due to time constraints and general fatigue, I was hoping to commission a cake. Sadly my first choice closed (rip Le Petit Monstre, will miss you), and I was hoping to survey the community for recommendations. If anyone else preordered this or another nontraditional cake and enjoyed their experience would love some direction.

Thank you!

Love their Chinatown locations, not sure how a fine dining adaption of the menu would be, especially at $100/pp. What are peoples' thoughts on it?

kelloggs?

3 Upvotes

going to kelloggs for a lunch soon (not in charge of location, i know there are better choices) and i'm curious what my options there are? haven't been since they reopened and their menu online is confusing as hell (weird labeling system with no index-vegetarian and vegan things labeled VG and V seemingly interchangeably?) anyone been recently? have any reports or favorites?

Vegan Cocobread (w/ Jamaican Patties)

8 Upvotes

I know of many places you can get vegan Jamaican Patties (Natural Blend, Patty Haus, FoodForNegus) in Brooklyn but does anyone know where I can also get Vegan Cocobread? Was craving it last week! They sell some online but I really just wanted to get one somewhere local if anyone knows?

Visiting from the UK over Christmas

2 Upvotes

Hi all,
Me, my wife and my parents are visiting between the 23rd and 28th December.
We have gone through Google multiple times to look for all the vegan spots we can and we have a good list of places we will likely try.

But I’m wondering if anyone here can recommend anything that may not be as well known?

And specifically looking for recommendations for Christmas Day probably around 1/2PM as I know I’ll likely need to book. Does anybody know of spots that will likely be open or are good options.
Thanks all!

Fav restaurants that deliver to the UWS?

7 Upvotes

Hi all--I'm bedridden from a very severe chronic illness and have found myself repeating the same few restaurants over and over lately. A lot of times peoples' general recommendations on here don't end up delivering to where I am in the west 70s. (I know Peacefood--that's one of the ones I'm repeating.)

If anyone has any recs I would really appreciate it!

I made vegan banana bread for the first time yesterday! I added a simple vanilla glaze on top.

I’d love to learn what you all enjoy baking at home. Especially any relatively easy baking recipes for vegan treats!

Gregory's Coffee vegan options dwindling to nothing

39 Upvotes

Just sharing for awareness.

I notice that Gregory's Coffee had many vegan food options in the past, which was my main reason for going to that coffee shop. Then they stopped some items (weirdly stopped selling the vegan croissant which they still used on their sandwiches - nonsensical imo) and seemed to start incorporating other healthy food type options with a mix of vegan (date balls). They specifically added an oatmeal that was perfect for grabbing and going as it was in their chiller with drinks and stuff.

I went today and not only do they no longer have their new oatmeal (chia and coconut, pumpkin seeds and stuff) but they've seemingly swapped it with a menu item hot oatmeal. I tried to order it and they did not have any....so I went with the only other vegan sandwich. They seem to also have a vegan wrap now? Literally two columns of food items on the tiny menu.

I can't help but notice that their menu seems to be much larger for food these days and they are heavily advertising their eggs, but they basically have one primary vegan option. This is very upsetting as this was a nice little staple distributed throughout the city where I knew I could at least get SOMETHING. But now I think I probably won't go back.

Sharing for others awareness that they don't have the chiller oatmeal, very sad to see. Seems to be trending away from the vegan stuff.

Any health vegans?

1 Upvotes

Just curious if anyone here has adopted a health-focused vegan diet and would be interested in connecting? (Don’t interpret this to mean that the ethical/environmental aspects aren’t important to me)

I’m a guy in my late 20s who lives in Manhattan and am into fitness/health. (I have other interests like meditation, reading, languages, and others, but I’m looking for health vegans specifically).

What to eat right now ? pov: i’m indecisive as hell

3 Upvotes

I live in midtown manhattan and it’s past dinner time but i’m an indecisive prick and also had a very long day and don’t wanna think!
I’ve been sitting with doordash open unable to decide what to eat.
For context:
I had half a bagel in the morning, rice and paneer with curd in lunch (office special lunch), i had some dried mango snack and it’s time for dinner now! SUGGEST IDEAS.
Mostly my sister would do the thinking for me! Let’s see if the algorithm pushes the post in the next 15 minutes to get me food?

I’m also vegetarian.
