Raw food in mid-town NYC
I have a meeting tomorrow at Columbus Circle and was hoping to get a bite on my way back to the train station. All of the raw restaurants I know are much further downtown.
Does anyone know if there are any in mid-town? I don't need a full meal, a fresh juice and a snack would be fine. I guess I can always go down to the East Village, it would just be easier if I don't have to go too far out of my way.

Hi Eric,
Just to give you some more info...Westerly's is a great place to get a juice and a snack (they also have a little raw prepared food section in the back by the juice bar). The prices aren't bad at all but it's more of a health food store then a place where you can sit down and enjoy your food. Free Foods is awesome but definitely more expensive and "raw gourmet"...however, it's a nice place to sit and enjoy your meal (think Dean and Deluca atmosphere) and the food is really good. Hope that helps : )

Thanks. I've pretty much decided to go to Free Foods. It's right on my way to the station, my friend who wanted to meet for lunch lives a few blocks from there... He doesn't eat raw so if its "raw gourmet" that might scare him off a bit less. Thanks for the advice!

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
