DO I HAVE TO BE VEGAN TO ATTEND?

Absolutely not! (But you will be eating vegan food that caters to your specific tastes, which is, you know, EXCELLENT!) Ria and her crew at Top Secret Vegan, a.k.a. TSV, love when omnivores attend and get blown away by the DELICIOUS meals and snack buffets!

What time is my event?

Start and finish times vary as each day of hooky is customized. We’ll discuss all pertinent details prior to your event.

CAN YOU ORGANIZE AN EVENT FOR MY SCHOOL, BUSINESS, OR FAMILY?

Absolutely! From individuals to corporate events, we’ve got you covered!

Where does my event take place?

Tell Ria where you’ve always wanted to go, or let Ria choose and take you on an unforgettable ride! You decide! It’s your day! TSV is based NYC, but you can play hooky anywhere in the world! 

How LONG IS MY EVENT?

How much time have you got? Many events last for approximately 5 - 6 hours. Some events that involve travel can go from dawn to dusk…or dusk ‘til dawn!

WHAT DOES A “TYPICAL” EVENT LOOK LIKE?

Well, TSV is NEVER typical, but… it often includes an ice breaker activity, snack buffet, group activities, a scrumptious meal, and decadent dessert.

How much does it cost?

Prices vary based on venue, meals, activities, and number of participants. When we create your day together, TSV will make every effort to balance your budget with your desires! (In other words, prices vary, a lot! Contact us to get a sense of what your day will look like!)

WHAT WILL I EAT?

What makes your mouth water? The vegan dishes the TSV crew provides will delight even the most committed omnivores. Please alert us of all allergies during the booking process.

Private caterers and tantalizing treats come from all over, but here are a few favorites: Riverdel, Beyond Sushi, Le Botaniste, Erin McKenna’s Bakery, Peacefood Cafe, Delice & Sarrasin, and Rawsome Treats.

Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket for another event?

Company retreats, school events, planned parties, and some workshops can be rescheduled. Deposits will be held if you postpone your event. Deposits will be kept if you cancel the event.

WHAT IS THE AGE LIMIT?

We’re happy to accommodate all ages for many of our events!

WHAT ARE Hidden Gem events?

Hidden Gem events are invite only, top secret gatherings or workshops that are curated for individuals interested in making brand new connections. Each person that is invited is part of a carefully selected group with common interests and goals. If you’d like to be invited, contact us to schedule a consultation. You must be 18 or older to attend all Hidden Gem events.

Why is Ria burns-wilder the “Top Secret Vegan?”

Ria was raised in a “meat centric” culture, but experienced wellness setbacks that forced her to change her diet. Learning to thrive in a new way, she spent a lot of time experimenting in the kitchen, veganizing many of her family’s traditional Puerto Rican dishes. It became a joke that she was the “Top Secret Vegan” when she wowed even the most committed omnivores with her contributions to holiday gatherings. Now that there are scores of vegan restaurants around the world, she enjoys letting the pros do the cooking…and the dishes!
