We started our day at the Union Square Farmer’s Market:
Whenever I visit New York City and walk through Union Square, I gaze longingly at the famous farmer’s market, wishing I actually lived in the city and could thus take advantage of the greenmarket’s offerings. This year, therefore, it was fun to pretend I was a local, shopping for fresh fruits and veggies… and trying to remember that Jessica’s tiny refrigerator only comes up to my knee!
A healthy food truck decided to park itself right outside the market.
I bought a coconut truffle, and a cashew-based Macaroni and Cheese to try later:
The coconut truffle was delicious (albeit tiny). I didn’t like the moc and cheese, but I admittedly have very high standards now that I’ve tried Blossom’s vegan cheese sauce.
Speaking of cheese… this was lunch:
S and I spotted this restaurant called “Naked Pizza” as we were walking from 14th street to the East Village, and we figured it was perfect for both of us: vegan-friendly for me, and pizza for him!
Above is the pizza we ordered, with Daiya cheese on the left and mozzarella (non-vegan) cheese on the right. We both decided on mushrooms and spinach for our respective side’s toppings, and I liked how the crust was whole-grain.
S just liked that it tasted good 
.
And later, for dessert…
More ice cream from Lula’s!
Their chocolate ice cream tastes like you are eating a chocolate milkshake. Hands down the best chocolate ice cream I have ever eaten, vegan or not.
Question of the Day:
What toppings, if any, do you usually like on your pizza?
When I was really little, I detested tomato sauce. So I’d order “white” pizza with just cheese and nothing else. Then I was introduced to the concept of Hawaiian pizza, with pineapple and ham, and that became my favorite for awhile. Somewhere along the way, I learned to love tomato sauce. Thank goodness, because it’d be pretty hard to eat pizza if you were a vegan who hated tomato sauce… all you’d be eating would be crust!

With the exception of onions, anchovies and chicken, I’ll eat anything on a pizza or try it at least once. My favorite is Italian sausage and pepperoni pizza loaded down with mushrooms, peppers and black olives.
I recently did a blog for my company’s website about food trucks with crazy menu items and one of them had a crab leg pizza. Although I like pizza and I LOVE crab legs I’m not sure how those two would fit together. I’ve never had any kind of seafood pizza but I’d be willing to give it a try.

Naked Pizza is a franchise so it may be coming to a city near you soon. I remember hearing about the original store in Louisiana and wanting to try it. Hopefully they open some up in Houston soon.
Claire says
when I still ate meat, prosciutto and date was my favourite kind of pizza. now I love mushroom and olive!
Lindsey says
it’s funny that you said the chocolate ice cream tasted like eating a chocolate milkshake because isn’t a chocolate milkshake made with chocolate ice cream? haha
Tanner says
I like pineapple, veggie ham, and nutritional yest on my pizza, and, call me crazy, but my favorite pizza sauce is actually Ralph’s (kroger) store brand, LOL!
I also really like Whole Foods’ vegan roasted vegetable pizza, yummies!
