These are some of my favorite vegan restaurants that I highly recommend. I have tried them and absolutely love the alternatives that they provide. They are mainly based in NYC Manhattan area but I have also included a Brooklyn section as I am mostly between these two areas (Manhattan seems to have the most vegan restaurants out of every other borough) . If you are skeptical about vegan alternatives or just looking for great places to eat, this is the list for you. You can follow my instagram for more vegan content and info :) Hope this helps and enjoy!
Spending your entire Sunday afternoon chopping, slicing, and prepping ingredients for the week ahead is soul-crushing. If you keep telling yourself you'll cook more but then order DoorDash because the prep feels like a second job, this list is what finally broke that cycle for me. Every single tool here earned its counter space, and most of them paid for themselves in saved takeout money within the first month.
After testing more kitchen gadgets than I can count, I’ve learned exactly what separates the gimmicks from the game-changers. These are the tools that actually earn their place on the counter—smart designs, reliable performance, and that rare “how did I ever cook without this?” feeling. If I’m recommending it, it’s because it’s survived real kitchens, real recipes, and the kind of everyday use that only a true cooking obsessive puts things through.
So I am a really picky eater because of autism but a foody these are some of my safer foods and utensils that I use. I have a hard time eating meat and anything too gelatin

Before: A first morning brew at home can mean stale beans, a bitter cup, and a drawer of gear you never learned to use. After: a calm slow morning with a fresh, balanced cup you made yourself, at your own pace. This list is the bridge — it gathers home coffee essentials for beginners, from fresh beans and grinding to pour-over brewing, precise measuring, and storage for slow mornings, so first-time home brewers can build a complete ritual without guessing. Start with beans and a brewer, then add grinding and measuring tools as the ritual becomes a habit.
My favorite that makes the best water bottles, tumblers, and food lifestyle items for a more affordable price and better than Luxury namebrand. The colors and patterns are also endless. They are also dishwasher safe which is a big win.
One glass on a Tuesday night used to mean pouring the rest down the drain by Friday. If you only drink a glass or two at a time and you're tired of wasting half a bottle, this is everything I use to keep wine tasting like it was just uncorked. Took me two years and a lot of vinegar-tasting Pinot to figure this out.
The ritual of making tea is my new obsession. You must have patience while brewing the tea. There is something so cozy about holding a fragrant cup next to your chest, calming the vagus nerve. The slow sips while you calm your body, reset your day.

Grabbed all of it over the past year so you don't have to figure it out the hard way.
Spending $6 on a latte every morning adds up to over $2,000 a year, and half the time it's lukewarm by the time you sit down.

Sunday nights used to mean staring into the fridge at 9pm, throwing together sad sandwiches, then spending $15 on lunch Monday anyway.

Took me two years of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

Spent years surviving on frozen meals and DoorDash because cooking felt overwhelming. Turns out I didn't need a culinary degree or 47 specialty ingredients. Just a solid pan, a handful of spices, and a willingness to burn a few things first. This is everything I actually use now, and I wish someone had handed me this list when I moved into my first apartment.
I’ve been on a journey, reducing chemicals and replacing them with natural more healthier versions of daily use kitchen ware. Having Hashimoto’s the main focus for me was to reduce how much impact things have on my liver.

Most of these have short ingredient lists, minimal or no preservatives, and little to no refined sugar when possible. Not everything is perfectly healthy, but it’s all about balance and finding what works for you. I’ll keep adding more as I go!
