On the Menu this Week

This week’s plant-based dishes from around NYC are not to be missed. Every week I think I eat pretty delicious food, but this week was a whole new level of deliciousness. Everything I’m sharing was so good. These are the kind of dishes that could turn any foodie into a vegan foodie. From dumplings to tacos to cookies…this was truly a week of good eats.

To say I am obsessed with these spicy veggie dumplings from Northern Tiger would be an understatement. The dumplings are filled with fresh seasonal veggies and smothered in a spicy sauce that will leave your tastebuds very happy.

I finally made it to Otto’s Tacos for their infamous mushroom tacos. They’re made with deliciously marinated mushrooms, onions, cilantro and guacamole. Here it’s simplicity for the win. And each taco will only run you $3.00 a pop!

This past week the people behind Thug Kitchen teamed up with The Meatball Shop to offer their customers vegan meatballs for one week only. I was lucky enough to try them out and they were great. While you can’t get the meatballs at The Meatball Shop anymore you can find the recipe in the Thug Kitchen Party Grub Cookbook.
If you’re looking for a dairy-free hot chocolate now that the weather has cooled down, look no further than By Chloe. They serve up a special housemade hot cocoa that’s a combination of dark chocolate, peanut butter, almond milk and marshmallows.

For all you egg lovers, this is the dish for you!! I have never been able to find a vegan food that could replace scrambled eggs, but By Chloe‘s weekend brunch menu has finally created it. It’s the early bird which is scrambled tofu that is seasoned to perfection and mixed with tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach. It tasted so much like scrambled eggs. It also comes with market greens, maple vegan sausage, 7-grain toast, avocado and hot sauce.

And the gluten-free, vegan chocolate chip cookie sandwiches from Sun in Bloom were the perfect treat to top off this week of good eats!
