Huge congratulations to Niya on the grand opening of her vegan restaurant, Nana's A Vegan! I'm so incredibly proud of her--seeing all her hard work pay off and her dream come to life is truly inspiring. This is just the beginning, and I know things will only get bigger and better from here!
The food was absolutely incredible, and this is coming from a non-vegan! I have feared okra my entire life, but after tasting hers, I am officially converted. Every dish was bursting with flavor--you couldn't even tell there was no meat. The crab cakes had the essence of crab, the cauliflower chicken bites were perfectly crispy, and that smoked BBQ sauce? Chef's kiss!
The sides were out of this world: the black-eyed peas, collard greens, baked mac and cheese, and famous potato salad all slapped! And don't get me started on dessert--the decadent chocolate cake and banana pudding were so good I refused to share!
Make sure you stop by Nana's A Vegan, located at The Bronx Terminal Market in the new Boogie Down Food Hall, right next to Food Bazaar:
610 Exterior Street, Bronx, NY 10451 (or enter on River Ave by BJ's).
Trust me, you do NOT want to miss this plant-based soul food experience! read more
