VegNews editors explore: NYC! Senior Editor Richard Bowie is in the Big Apple to eat and explore—and his first stop? The legendary @Orchard Grocer in the Lower East Side for some vegan grocery shopping (come on, wall of mac and cheese!) and The Bowery: a plant-based spin on a New York classic featuring tempeh bacon, turmeric tofu egg, provolone cheese, and spicy mayo on a soft, squishy bun. Only thing that could make it better is a smear of Philadelphia’s new vegan cream cheese (check out or last post for that!)—or is that a BEC sacrilege? #vegan #plantbased #veganbreakfast #veganbrunch #breakfastsandwich #orchardgrocer #vegannyc #vegangroceries #vegangroceryhaul #nycvegan
