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- Mongolian BBQ Dinner Social in Garwood, NJMagic Grill, Garwood, NJ
Join Plant Powered Metro New York and build your own Mongolian barbecue meal! A grill may be an unlikely place for a wholesome plant-based meal, but we’ve found it at the Magic Grill Mongolian Barbecue. Diners will choose a vegetable soup as well as your plant foods of choice for the staff to cook on the large round grill. Options include a variety of vegetables, mushrooms, noodles, rice, tofu, pineapple, sauces, ginger water, and garlic water. Additional toppings like sesame seeds and peanuts are available — and you can go up to the grill more than once!
Please note that all food ingredients are cooked on a shared surface with wheat, soy, beef, chicken, seafood, and pork. (We can ask them to clean the grill before they cook our food). Don't miss this fun celebration!
Only 16 spots available! All reservations are requested by 12:00 PM on Tuesday, August 6th. After this time, limited space may be available, and we will no longer honor refund requests.$30 fee includes meal, tax, and gratuity.
Hosted by PPMNY’s community leaders Steve Barbag and Karina Pearse.
- Plant Powered Potluck in Downtown BrooklynPlant Powered Potluck in Downtown Brooklyn, New York, NY
Share in great company and enjoy a wholesome potluck meal with Plant Powered Metro New York at this home-hosted gathering for health-conscious neighbors, hosted by PPMNY volunteers Louise Cohen-Silver and Lisa Callan.
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, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt. (If this sounds intimidating, don't worry! Reach out to Louise at louise.cohen.silver@ppmny.org, to discuss simple dish ideas, or check out our community recipe app here.)
It's a good rule of thumb to double a recipe you would make at home! Please bring a serving utensil for your dish and a printed copy of your recipe for others to photograph.
