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.

Join Plant Powered Metro New York for a flavorful cooking experience where the spirit of Jamaica comes alive directly from the chef’s kitchen! In this hands-on event, you'll learn how to make Jamaican-inspired recipes alongside Chef Michael Gordon, the creator and owner of Ital Kitchen in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Chef Michael will guide you step-by-step through the vibrant spices, bold flavors, and cultural traditions that define Jamaican cuisine.
Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just getting started, this is your chance to cook, connect, and share a delicious journey with fellow plant food lovers. Learn how to make sorrel, a refreshing Caribbean beverage, an island-inspired dressing (served with a kale salad), and the chef’s beloved hand-crafted dumplings — filled with savory mushrooms and jerk seitan "chicken." Come ready to chop, stir, and taste your way to the islands — no passport required!
Ital Kitchen is a proud participant in Plant Powered Plates, bringing more whole food, plant-based meals to restaurants around the region.
