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.

Love Over Money: Movie Night in Manhasset
Manhasset, NY, Manhasset, Ne, USJoin Plant Powered Metro New York for a home-hosted community screening of Love Over Money.
The film shares the powerful true story of John Robbins, heir to the Baskin-Robbins fortune, who walked away from a billion-dollar inheritance to live in alignment with his values — sparking a global conversation about food, health, and purpose.
After the film, we’ll open the floor for a group discussion to share reflections and takeaways.
Guests are invited to bring a light snack to share, made with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt.
