Organic Avenue – Upper West Side

laurel — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:46:08 +0000

Organic Avenue, one of my favorite fresh juice companies in NYC, just opened up an Upper West Side boutique, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Organic Avenue is known for its amazing raw/organic/vegan juices and detox cleanses, but their boutique stores are also a great place to stock up on healthy snacks, supplements, or fresh [...]

On one of the coldest days in NYC this year, my friend Lauren and I traveled to the lower east side for brunch at a raw vegan restaurant called Quintessence. We snuggled in to a corner table by the door. Thank goodness we were seated next to a heater because we were freezing! I guess [...]

Review: Hummus Place (Again)

Greetings from Florida! I’m working in FL for the next few weeks, and I’m really enjoying the warm weather, sunshine, and time with friends. It doesn’t even feel like winter here. I laid out by the pool yesterday for Pete’s sake. I’m here to work, but I’m determined to enjoy myself too. Almost exactly one [...]

So Delicious Greek Yogurt Review

laurel — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 20:16:13 +0000

For awhile now I have been wishing there was a dairy-free “Greek” style yogurt that I could use in place of sour cream or cheese as a topping for chili, tacos, or as a filling partner to my morning granola. I love the rich, thick texture of Greek yogurt but I could never find a [...]

I love Groupon and local deal emails, and last week I had the chance to treat 3 of my friends to dinner at the vegan restaurant The V-Spot in Brooklyn. With the 4 appetizers and 4 entrees included in my Groupon deal, we had a FEAST. Yay for Groupons! Out of the 4 of us, [...]

Babycakes NYC

Last Friday was a crazy day in NYC. Hurricane Irene was on the way and all the New Yorkers were zipping around town picking up water, food, beer, and any hurricane “essential” items they needed. I made a big grocery trip to Whole Foods but also made some time to swing by the Babycakes vegan [...]

For my last day of the Raw Food blogathon, I made the trek over to Caravan of Dreams in the East Village. This organic/vegan restaurant features lots of raw food fare (almost half of the menu is raw), and I’ve been meaning to check out this place forever. I didn’t have time to stick around, [...]
