Kenny CostelloDecember 21, 2012Great place to get food if you feel like you would like to eat some food. And they have the items usually found at a Botega, so it's a great combo with all you need. Tastes delicious too!!Upvote2Downvote- William OstrowAugust 7, 2014Vietnamese sandwiches in the back across from the salads are amazing. The tofu skin sandwich on sourdough was ridiculously tasty and fully packed. Ask for some hot peppers. Grab some free bread.Upvote1Downvote
The food taste surprisingly good here unlike most NYC salad bars. A bit expensive for lunch everyday but worth it.
