• Time Out New York names the Chelsea location of Blossom “best vegetarian restaurant” in its 2008 Eat Out Awards. Other nominees: Candle 79, Caravan of Dreams, and Counter.
• While I do agree with the New York mag folks on Gossip Girl , they must have been smoking something when they decided to make the uber-bizzare OMFG claim that Birdbath’s banana-sesame-agave cake is the city’s “best vegan treat” in its 2008 Best of New York issue back in March. Have they not had Danielle Konya’s VeganTreats’ new tiramisu, Sweet & Sara’s smores and toasted coconut marshmallows, Candle Cafe’s chocolate mousse pie, Pure Food & Wine’s ice cream sundae…to name a few off the top of my head?
• New Yorkers celebrated this week with news of the pending arrival of DC’s Sticky Fingers Bakery in Brooklyn and pretty soon our brethren in our nation’s capital will be able to celebrate with finally getting Danielle Konya’s VeganTreats! The ever-lovely Ms. Konya was in DC last week meeting with various veggie restaurants and will soon start distributing her sweet goodness there!
• Sweet & Sara just moved to a bigger marshmallow factory in Long Island City of Queens, NY. With the expansion, Sara Sohn’s vegan marshmallow empire now expands to Australia, Hawaii, and Whole Foods in Chicago!
