On April 24th I took a group of raw food lovers to the Big Apple for a fun day of visiting some of the best vegan and raw food establishments in the plant strong movement. It was wonderful to spend the day getting to know the vegan cafes, restaurants, and stores available to us in New York City. I’m always happy to set up this event twice a year to give the support to all who are on a health journey. We went to some fabulous raw food and health spots! Here are the places we visited along with some extras in other parts of Manhattan and also New Jersey.

I hope you enjoy all these resources for your entertainment! And for those who do not live in the New York Metropolitan area but have always wanted to visit the Big Apple, now you have a listing of some of the excellent stops to make on your own tour. Enjoy!
