We spent our outset total New York solar daytime exploring the Brooklyn neighbourhood that nosotros were staying in. Our breakfast venue, Champs Family Bakery, became ane of our favourite eateries inwards the city. They've got a sugariness diner set-up inwards a residential street as well as a carte du jour that runs to dozens as well as dozens of American-style vegan meals: burgers, sandwiches, wraps as well as burritos; all-day breakfasts of scrambled tofu, biscuits, domicile fries, pancakes as well as waffles; bowls as well as salads; sundaes, cakes as well as cookies.
Michael tucked into the Tofu Rancheros (US$12 AU$12.80), a large plate piled high amongst rice as well as beans, tortilla chips inwards a cheese sauce, tofu scramble, ranchero sauce, salsa fresca as well as sour cream, as well as ordered an utterly unnecessary side of tempeh bacon (US$2 AU$2.10). I dug their hefty biscuits smothered inwards soysages as well as province gravy (US$10 AU$10.70), grateful for the fresh greens to interruption upward the richness. Even as well as thus I couldn't smoothen off this dense breakfast. We stumbled out groaning, feeling equal parts pleasance as well as pain.
We walked deeper into Brooklyn for the monthly Vegan Shop-Up (thanks to Anne B for pointing this ane out) at Pine Box Rock Shop, a vegan bar. We spent a span of hours simply hanging out, amongst Michael watching the soccer as well as eventually working upward an appetite to endeavour something from the Cinnamon Snail nutrient truck (which came recommended both yesteryear Anne B as well as Justin M). He happily ploughed through a tortilla-lined box of spicy Korean barbeque seitan (US$9 AU$9.60), as well as I constitute room for an Alchemy Creamery gleegan icecream sandwich (it was nice, but meliorate vegan icecream was to follow).
Otherwise I checked out the stalls of clothing, preserves, baked goods as well as tea, as well as was delighted to disclose a Lagusta's Luscious stall - I've been a reader of Lagusta's blog for years as well as hadn't imagined that I'd live on able to access her chocolates inwards the city. I bought a corn on the cob bar as well as a four grain bourbon caramel chile bar, as well as nosotros rationed them out over later on days. They were both absolutely bright as well as based on ethically-sourced, smooth, dark, just-sweet-enough chocolate. The corn bar included bold corn heart as well as somebody chunks, hints of paprika as well as sage, addition a skillful dash of salt; the other had the darkest, almost adult caramel I've always chanced upon. I'd merchandise all the Caramello Koalas inwards the basis for another.
We spent the eve dorsum closer to our Williamsburg accommodation, where the Northside Festival was beingness held inwards the streets as well as local arts venues (see slideshow below). We ate dinner at Wild Ginger, a vegan pan-Asian restaurant. Service was reserved yesteryear American standards as well as the nutrient was variable: Michael's Thai iced java as well as my iced dark-green tea (US$3 AU$3.20) striking the correct notes as well as the miso-dressed salad was nice; I loved the freshness of the avocado, mount yam as well as mango tartar (US$8.50 AU$9.10) though it was overwhelmed yesteryear its wasabi-soy sauce; the common salt as well as pepper Rex oyster mushrooms (US$8.50 AU$9.10) were greasy as well as underseasoned; as well as our General Tso's soy poly peptide (US$15 AU$16) was a neat mock meat inwards a sauce also sugariness for Michael.
We were to a greater extent than inwards sync amongst our evening's entertainment, a alive present led yesteryear Courtney Barnett (from Melbourne's northside to Brooklyn's) as well as Benjamin Booker at the Williamsburg Music Hall.
