Pamela Elizabeth, the owner of Blossom du Jour, became a vegetarian at the age of 17 after reading a pamphlet decrying the treatment of animals in the food industry. Shortly afterwards, she became vegan. In 2010, she began sharing fast vegan cuisine with New Yorkers.
Blossom’s menu includes wraps, salads, smoothies, and delicious milk-free shakes. Stopping here for a bite with some friends, I appreciated the fast service and abundant choices, and breakfast served all day was definitely a plus. I enjoined one of the newer items, a blossom bowl with some marinated vegetables and tumeric-infused rice. The Manhattan Sideways team also sampled the bean burrito with guacamole, buffalo wrap, and coco berry detox. Each of us left feeling a bit healthier.
