In recent years, New York City has seen a surge in upscale vegan restaurants. While the food is often exceptional, the steep prices make them more suitable for special occasions. Fortunately, many of their dishes — especially pasta — can be recreated at home for a fraction of the cost. Read on for my take on the Vegan Cacio e Pepe that’s become a staple on vegan restaurant menus across the country.
TGATP Eat and Imbibe
The best food, restaurants, and drinks.
Dozens of studies show that a vegan diet is better for your health. While I still eat fish occasionally, I am vegan 98% of the time. However staying vegan has required tons of experimentation to find the best vegan alternatives to my favorite films. Fortunately, nowadays there is a plant-based version of every type of food. Here are my faves for Fall 2024!
The Summer Fancy Food show is one of my favorite trade shows as it offers thousands of food brands and an opportunity to discover new brands to cover and feature in my pages.
TGATP is so happy to announce that after a 2-year break due to the Covid_19 pandemic, the Summer Fancy Food Show is live and in-person at the Javits Center in NYC from June 11 to the 14th.
I got to spend a wonderful and enchanting evening at the press dinner for Excuse My French, an intimate little spot on the Lower East Side. It’s perfect for dates and girls’ nights out! Go, just go.
Fortunately, nowadays a gluten-free, mostly vegan lifestyle is easy to achieve because there are tons of yummy product options. Here are my favorites in a brief video.
NY is finally legal for recreational cannabis! So this Cinco De Mayo, TGATP is happy to introduce you to Good Stuff Beverages, a company I just discovered that makes yummy cannabis infused bevies!
