If my burger column wasn’t enough of an indication, let me start this recommendation with a disclaimer: I am not a vegan. In fact, I’m one of those annoying meat eaters that usually turns their nose up at vegan food. [Editor James’ note: This is true. Carys did once visibly cringe at my soy chorizo breakfast burrito.] It just doesn’t taste good! Zucchini Kill is different, though. The bakery slings vegan, gluten-and-soy-free cupcakes, cookies, and other treats that actually maintain their sugary flavor, all while referencing feminist punk pioneers Bikini Kill. That’s a revolution I can get behind. For its seventh anniversary, the shop offers complimentary drinks, plus merch, games, and dessert specials, at its 701 E. 53rd St. location. – Carys Anderson
