Today we checked out Plant Based Bushwick for the first time. It was a really cool assortment of shops and food vendors, and I'm so glad that we went! Below, a highlight of some of my favorite local businesses that I checked out!

Marty's V-Burger

Wow, nothing I've had has tasted more like a fast food burger than Marty's!! Holy crap. I had to go back and have another before I left. I really recommend checking this place out if you can, which can be hard since they only travel around — here's their website.

Hunny-Bon

If you're a vegan and you're craving the old snacks of yore, look no further. Hunny-Bon makes imitation candy that tastes so much like the real thing, you might not even notice that it's, um, not actually the real thing. I'm talking jellybeans, peach gummy rings, sour gummy worms, and such delicious CHOCOLATE! My favorites in that area are the chocolate-covered goji berries and chocolate quinoa crunch. Oh, and it's all organic, vegan, and free from GMO's, pesticides, and refined sugars.

Chocolate Calling

I wish I got to try more of their flavors, but I did walk away with one very amazing treat: VEGAN chocolate-covered potato chips. Holy moly!!

Yeah Dawg!

I was so stoked to come across Yeah Dawg! in the flesh. They always have giant lines wherever I go, and this time I was determined to try it. Well, I still didn't, but I hope to soon! In the meantime, check out their website here.

Have you been to a cool local event lately? Any vegan ones I should know about? Let us know in the comments!
