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.

Movie Night in Sea Cliff: All The World is Green
Location not specified yetJoin Plant Powered Metro New York for a home-hosted gathering and community screening of All The World is Green.
This 2026 documentary explores the evolution of the global food system and the impact of our food choices on human health, animals, and the environment. Featuring insights from leading scientists, physicians, environmental experts, and advocates, the film examines the role of animal agriculture in today’s most pressing global challenges while highlighting how plant-powered eating can lead to a healthier, more sustainable future.
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 as we mix and mingle before the screening. In the spirit of the film, bring a dish made only 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.
