Health Freedom Walk: A Bed-Stuy Restaurant Crawl Honoring Dr. King
Details
Presented in partnership with JASA
Join Plant Powered Metro New York for our 4th annual Health Freedom Walk, a restaurant "crawl" hosted in multiple neighborhoods around the region, offering progressive plant-powered dishes that pay tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s enduring legacy of justice. Come celebrate freedom, fun, and food as we take back our health and support local eateries highlighting plant based options.
We honor Rev. Dr. King’s legacy, by elevating nutrition that presents a transformative opportunity for health, healing, and hope for all, especially those in marginalized communities.
Each Health Freedom Walk will be unique to its neighborhood, which may include key landmarks recognizing Dr. King and or the civil rights movement, eateries serving diverse cuisines, and walk marshals who will provide inspiration and historical perspective. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to honor Dr. King’s national holiday, look no further and get ready to eat well, gather in community, and walk for health freedom.
Join our walk to these hotspots in Bed Stuy where local chefs have, in partnership with PPMNY, curated these delicious dishes:
• Ginjan Cafe, 333 Nostrand Ave: Hot Veggie Wrap
• Natural Blend, 243 Malcolm X Blvd: Jamaican Patty or Bean Soup
• Ava’s Lifeline, 754 DeKalb Avenue: Hot Chocolate or Ginger Turmeric Tea and Chocolate Chip Cookie
The walk begins at Restoration Plaza, 1368 Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY 11216.
