Our Newest Partner, Plant Junkie, Is Creating a More Delicious and Sustainable World

As champions for animals and the planet, we know that what’s on our plate has a profound impact—not just on our health, but on the lives of animals and the future of our environment. We’re thrilled to announce our newest partnership with Plant Junkie, a 100% plant-based restaurant that shares our commitment to a kinder, more sustainable world. Plant Junkie isn’t just serving bowls, sandwiches, salads, and desserts that are all 100% vegan; it’s proving that plant-based dining can be exciting, flavorful, and accessible to all. Together, we’re working to create a future where ethical choices are the easiest—and most delicious—ones to make! 

Plant Junkie’s 100% plant-based menu features globally inspired comfort foods! You can find Plant Junkie at its restaurant in South Street Seaport in New York City, on its website, and on Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Doordash.

Plant Junkie’s Story 

Nat Milner, a restauranteur involved in the NYC restaurant scene for over 25 years, had long witnessed NYC restaurants gradually evolve toward less labor-intensive, quick service, dining models. After leaving a fine-dining organic restaurant behind, a vegan quick-service establishment was a natural evolution. At the same time Hiranth Jaysinghe, Executive Chef and vegan, noticed plant-based eating becoming more mainstream. Yet, he felt there was a lack of dining options available and none that provided the unique and delicious global-inspired food he was preparing for his family, friends, and clients. These two former colleagues and friends, with a shared social mission of improving our environment, joined forces to nourish the world, one plant-based meal at a time, by opening Plant Junkie.
