ABOUT ONE LUCKY DUCK
Our goal at One Lucky Duck is to help you eat healthier,
live healthier, and feel amazing. By eating a more natural and uncooked
plant-based diet, you can drastically improve your own wellbeing, energy
levels, and overall vitality. So, what does One Lucky Duck do? We start by
making food and snacks that are not only good for you, they taste good too. And
we do this for everyone. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian or you eat meat,
whether you're sensitive to gluten, dairy, or soy, or if you simply want
something good to eat, we make food for you.
If you want to give your kids healthier snacks or encourage your parents,
friends, or other loved ones to eat better, we're here to help. Our focus is on
plant-based eating and living, and sourcing the very best of what's out there
in clean, natural, and environmentally sound ingredients, products, packaging,
and practices. And we strive to do better at it every day.
PURE FOOD AND WINE
In 2004, with Sarma as co-founder, Pure Food and Wine was
opened as New York City's first upscale raw food restaurant. It's also where it
all started. Sarma's vision was to change the stereotypes of vegan (and raw)
restaurants as places for only crunchy folk. To that end she has most certainly
succeeded: Pure Food and Wine was featured twice in New York magazine's “Top 100 Restaurants” and five years in a row
in Forbes magazines list of “All Star
New York Eateries” with three stars. In both cases, the restaurant was included
on its own merits, not in any vegetarian/vegan category. As Forbes wrote, “Pure Food and Wine's menu
of raw vegetable concoctions may make this the Big Apple's most unusual
restaurant—as well as one of its best.”
The menu at Pure Food and Wine is comprised of organic and
seasonal plant-based ingredients, transformed in creative and innovative ways,
and never heated above 118 degrees. With one exception on the lunch menu, the
restaurant's food is also gluten free. An extensive list of organic,
biodynamic, and sustainable wines is complemented by a list of seasonal
cocktails made with organic sake. The restaurant seats 64 in the main dining
room and 20 in our private room. In the warm weather, our backyard garden seats
70 under the sky and trees. There's bar space both indoors and out. Pure Food
and Wine is open for lunch daily from 12-4 and dinner 5:30 to 11:00pm.
ONE LUCKY DUCK JUICE & TAKEAWAY
We have two Manhattan juice bar and takeaway locations. One
is on East 17th Street and the other is in the west side's Chelsea
Market. Both locations offer made
to order organic juices and shakes, as well as bottled fresh pressed juices,
and One Lucky Duck packaged snacks, sweets, and ingredients. Fresh salads and
other takeaway raw food is available as grab and go at Chelsea Market, and made
to order at 17th street (as our 17th street location is
connected to the Pure Food and Wine kitchen). Our 17th street
location also has a more extensive dessert menu, as well as our famous raw
vegan ice cream by the pint. Both locations carry a selection of retail goods,
One Lucky Duck merchandise, as well as Sarma's books.
