What we’re about
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.

See all- Taste & Shop for Wellness: A Cooking Demo and Market TourApollo 360 Health, New York, NY
Discover the joy of plant-powered eating with an interactive evening of cooking, tasting, and grocery shopping in Manhattan!
In partnership with Apollo 360 Health, Plant Powered Metro New York presents a dynamic urban experience near Union Square that brings healthy eating to life. You’ll learn how to turn fresh, seasonal produce and essential pantry staples into simple, delicious meals that support your health.
The evening begins in Apollo’s teaching kitchen with a themed cooking demo led by Chef Rebecca Johnson, PPMNY's Culinary Partnerships Manager, with Chef Anthony Spino, and Apollo's Stacia Helfand, RD. Enjoy light appetizers during the hour-long session followed by a full tasting of the dishes demonstrated.
Next, we’ll take a short walk to a nearby grocery store for a guided shopping tour. In small groups, you’ll learn how to identify whole foods, decode food labels, and explore new flavors that reflect the demo’s culinary theme. All participants will receive recipes and a shopping list to help you recreate the meal at home. (Please note: personal grocery purchases are not included.)
Whether you're new to whole food, plant-based nutrition or ready to expand your skills, this event will help you connect the dots among a healthy plate, a healthy pantry, and a healthy lifestyle.
