Presented in partnership with Columbia University’s Center for Community Health

Join us for a free community screening of Eating You Alive in West Harlem.
Whether you’re passionate about improving your own health or supporting the health of your community, Eating You Alive offers an inspiring look at how food can play a powerful role in preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic disease. Featuring leading physicians, researchers, and personal stories, the film explores the science behind whole food, plant-based nutrition and the profound impact it can have on our health.

Come early for complimentary plant-powered snacks and refreshments, then stay after the screening for a community conversation with special guests, where we’ll explore key takeaways, answer questions, and share ideas for bringing the messages and ideas from the film into our homes and neighborhoods.

Come for the movie, stay for the conversation, and connect with others who are passionate about building healthier communities!

Join Ethos Farm to Health, Princeton Eats Plants, Plant Based New Jersey, and Plant Powered Metro New York for a special harvest potluck celebrating the season with wholesome dishes, live music, and community.

After the potluck, enjoy a performance by the Long Hill String Band, whose lively old-time Appalachian music — featuring fiddle, banjo, mandolin, upright bass, and guitar — will create the perfect soundtrack for an evening on the farm.

Please bring a whole food, plant-based dish to share, made with whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please avoid animal products, vegan processed foods, white flours, and added oils, and keep added sweeteners and salt to a minimum. It’s a good rule of thumb to double a recipe you would make at home — everyone will want to try it!
In addition, please bring a printed list of ingredients or recipe, a serving utensil for your dish, your own plate, utensils, and water bottle to help us make this a low-waste event.

Free parking is available on-site. Please note that food cannot be warmed on the premises, and restroom facilities are limited to a portable restroom.

Good health and financial well-being go hand in hand. Join Plant Powered Metro New York and behavioral finance expert Mary Clements Evans for a conversation about how making intentional choices — for both your health and your finances — can reduce stress, increase confidence, and help you build a more fulfilling life.

A whole food, plant-based lifestyle is an investment in your future, and the same principles of planning, prevention, and long-term thinking apply to your financial life. In this presentation, you’ll learn practical strategies for navigating money conversations with confidence, creating a financial plan that reflects your values, and identifying trustworthy financial guidance that supports your goals. Mary will also share her own journey with whole food, plant-based eating and how it has shaped her perspective on health, wellness, and financial freedom.

Whether you’re looking to take control of your finances or simply make more intentional decisions, join our lunchtime chat with Mary to add more important tools to your healthy living toolkit!

As Candle prepares to close its doors at the end of September, Plant Powered Metro New York and the NYC Vegetarian and Vegan Meetup invite you to celebrate the restaurant’s legacy and more recent reinvention under owner and chef Jorge Pineda and executive chef Angel Ramos, in a special evening of food and community in Kips Bay. Candle became an early participant in PPMNY’s Plant Powered Plates initiative which brings more whole food, plant-based options to the region through close collaboration with local eateries.

When you register for the Final Toast Experience, the $25 fixed price includes a mocktail mojito, twin tacos with roasted cauliflower and wild mushroom, and gratuity. We also encourage our guests to order an additional dish or entrée, especially the whole-food options on their Plant Powered Plates menu.

All dishes are free of animal products and added sugar but may contain some salt and oil. Gluten-free options will be available.

All reservations are requested by 12:00 PM on Tuesday, September 15. After this time, limited space may be available, and we may not be able to honor refund requests.
