About us
Plant Powered Metro New York is catalyzing the local movement for vibrant health through whole-food, plant based (WFPB) nutrition. We empower and support people who have chosen this diet and lifestyle, raise awareness locally about the tremendous health benefits, and seek to bring about communal change.
Everyone is welcome to participate in our network at any place along the journey to health. Whether you are coming to this way of life via The China Study or Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Forks Over Knives or Dr. Greger, Engine2 or Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, you will find a community of like-minded friends who are learning from each other and eager to bring the benefits of WFPB nutrition to the wider community.
Our meetings are held online and at various locations throughout New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey.
To learn more, visit us at www.ppmny.org and join our mailing list.

Plant Powered Potluck in Livingston (November 2026)
Livingston Senior/Community Center, 204 Hillside Ave, Livingston, NJ 07039, USA, Livingston, NJ, USEnjoy a nourishing potluck meal and community connection with Plant Powered Metro New York and Livingston Healthy Community Healthy Youth at the Livingston Community Center. We’re gathering monthly for the remainder of 2026!
For the potluck, please choose a plant-based recipe made with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods and vegan processed foods, and we ask you to minimize added oil, sweeteners, and salt. Please bring a printed list of ingredients or a printed recipe.
It’s a good rule of thumb to double a recipe you would make at home — everyone wants to try it! Please bring a serving utensil for your dish, and to help us make this a low-waste event, bring a plate, utensils, and water bottle from home.
