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.

Your Neighbor's Table: A Sustainable Global Culinary Bazaar & Tasting
LaGuardia Community College, 31-10 Thomson Ave, Queens County, NY, USThe future of sustainable eating isn’t new — it’s something we can rediscover by learning from one another's food traditions.
Drawing on New York City’s incredible cultural diversity, Plant Powered Metro New York invites community members to gather around your neighbor’s table for Climate Week NYC held in conjunction with the UN General Assembly. Meet community chefs representing cultures from around the world who have prepared dishes made of whole plant foods, rooted in their heritage. Rotate from table to table sampling flavors, collecting recipes, hearing the stories behind each dish, and learning the powerful benefits of plant-based eating for environmental and human health. Along the way, you’ll discover that while every culture has its own unique culinary traditions, many share a common thread of delicious, nourishing plant foods and meals.
Plants have nourished communities for generations, and the cultivation of plant foods has a dramatically gentler environmental footprint than large-scale animal agriculture. Your Neighbor’s Table is a celebration of the many ways plant-powered eating has long been woven into cultures from around the world, centering beans, grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, and spices.
We invite you to rediscover the wisdom found across cultures and leave with delicious and practical strategies (and recipes!) to support your health and the health of our planet for generations to come.
Stay tuned to learn more about our featured guests and chefs!
Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the program will begin promptly at 6:00 PM.
