for a well balanced meal, order the macro plate. a few other favorites is the mu tea, seaweed salad, 3 mushrooms +garlic special.
Have a cold? Try the Volcano juice, it will scare the cold away. Norma mixes half with hot water and drinks it like a hot toddy. In midtown? Pick one up at The Wellness Cafe!
Great salads- try the yellow fin tuna or southwest chicken. Fresh squeezed juices and a full bar!
Ali Michael loves the salads and desserts available at this popular NYC eatery. Try Ali’s favorite salad: greens, arugula, avocado, and hijiki with argon lemon dressing.
One of the best vegetarian restaurants in the city – the Dragon bowl is a must! Don’t overlook the Reuben Sandwich, their Cornbread or the daily specials. BYOB!!
NYC's mecca for all things raw, organic & vegan, which means that, shame-producing arguments aside, you will leave this place with a spring in your step, a void in your wallet & a general glow. Read more.
The seitan steak Au poivre is amazing! You could easily slide this to a meat eater after a 1/2 bottle of biodynamic wine and they'd love every bite.A great place to avoid "meat-head" weekend crowds.
Although they change their menus regularly depending on the season, a staple dish that they usually have year round is the Phyllo Roulade. A must try!
Vegan Korean food? Sign us up! And don’t miss the button on the table that calls your waiter over – very addictive!
Gluten free options, but beware because not every sandwich is even with gluten free bread. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Quesadillas are delicious.
this is not wimpy macrobiotic food... everything here is good but i fell in love wih the planet platter! for 8.50 you get a plate overflowing with nutrient rich tasty food.
First time? Get the PFC "chicken" meal, a gingerade, and finish the night with chocolate cookie sandwich. And grab a half-price baked good for breakfast the next day!
Not a vegan here and actually enjoyed it! Good place where vegans and non vegans can find some common ground...in the well crafted and often overlooked cocktails (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Grab a bite to eat at Candle Café while you’re in the neighborhood. They have amazing vegan cuisine that’s fresh from the farm to the table.
Vegan fast food joint that’s open late! Try The Vegan Heart Attack or a couple of Corn Dogs. They go perfect with a milkshake.
Don't let the homey atmosphere fool you; make a reservation at least a week in advance. Popular lunch items include include the turkey sandwich, cheeseburger, and the whole wheat pizzas. Read more.
Always love it. Didn't realize they had a lettuce wrap option until now. Great for low carb and no carb and overall healthy meals (better beef = better health). (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
It is less about IF you eat here and more about how often you eat here...it's great! veggie jalapeño burger is so good! Chocolate peanut butter shake is also great!
If you think organic food can't put you on the road to a heart attack, you haven't eaten here.
All organic burger. Bison, elk, ostrich, lamb. Unique meats that taste really good. And you have to try the chocolate milkshake, its one of the best I've ever had.
Maybe not the cheapest burger for it's size but certainly delicious. The best bang for your buck is the Ruby burger, but be a man and order it medium rare. Cap it with half fries and half onion rings.
Great spot to get a healthy and seasonal meal to-go! We like the Spicy Meatballs with Spanish Brown Rice, Sweet Potato Casserole, Slaw and Tomato & Cucumber Salad.
One of the few healthy lunch options around midtown. I describe this place to my coworkers as the Whole Foods salad bar... except you can't serve yourself.
Healthy and tasty food. The small plate is actually a pretty good deal. Small portion size, but perfect for lunch and doesn't leave you feeling bloated in your office the rest of the afternoon.
ZocStars love this healthy hotspot! The food is insanely healthy and delicious, and everyone raves about the spicy meatballs!
Go before 1pm, otherwise you will end up waiting for over 20 mins. Thankfully, this particular Chop't has many salad-choppers/prep people so your wait won't ever be too long.
The food is excellent and the menu is both nutritionally and environmentally conscious. Using locally sourced produce, the restaurant’s cooking techniques heighten the food’s nutritional value.
The food – tasty, seasonal, often organic regional fare – features some haute comfort: duck confit, pork belly, sea bass, Brussels sprouts with bacon, cauliflower potato gratin, apple tart.
Great selection. Avoid coming here during the lunch hour rush (12pm-2pm). The line goes out the door! Go after when it's less busy. Get a frequent Chop'r card: Buy 10 salads, get one free!
Not usually a salad guy, but the Thai Chicken Crunch is good enough to have me coming back on a regular basis.
Get the reusable bowl! You get two extra toppings every time you bring it back AND you get 5% off your orders before 2pm and 10% off after 2pm. Best lunch salad...price, quality, and quantity...in the
One of my fave salad spots in the city. I'm a fan of the buffalo chicken, Thai crunch, and Hudson Valley salads and salad wraps. Customer service is also EXCELLENT. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
after a long ride, try something simple like their take on a lemonade: purified water, lemon juice, agave. i tried the heavier combinations and i just couldn't take it (need to get used to the tastes)
all these hipsters can't be wrong! this place has a great brunch - everything is fresh and pretty cheap too! super long lines so sit at the bar if you don't mind.
They sell all sorts of locally made products like @liddabit sweets and early bird granola. Get em!
Yummy seasonal market-fresh food at very reasonable prices. Definitely try the smoky mac and cheese and a big bowl of greek salad. Perfect for vegetable enthusiasts.
Veggie plate Is a MUST! Get 4 to split as an appetizer, Plantains aré amazing!!!!
Dan Barber's fresh, eco-friendly food is driven by the harvest at his farm upstate. The room located just below street-level on quaint Village block has the same casual grace as the eats.
Local and fresh, Market Table provides healthy and delicious meals with ingredients right from the farm. We highly recommend the incredible honeydew gazpacho.
Be sure to visit the garden upstairs, most of the veggies and herbs used in the dishes are grown there. Yum! Oh and $40 bottles of wine, can't beat that.
farm to table Chinese from the former frontman at shun lee and a bunch of chinatown cooks. tastes as good as it sounds.
The rooftop garden of this funky spot produces tomatoes, brussels sprouts, peppers, carrots, and heirloom lettuce—much of which finds its way onto brick-oven pizzas and other Italian-inspired dishes.
Celiacs take note: "Besides regular white-flour crusts, the spot offers pizza foundations made from spelt and cornmeal, many vegan and topped with soy cheese." Read more.
Don't be a snob even though this is a vegan spot. Just go for the General Tso's protein or the orange seitan. Embrace the fake Asian-ness.
Enjoy one of the many sandwiches at this vegetarian café as you drink your coffee. A good place for lunch.
