City Eating


      I am a city girl to the heart...New York/Jersey City that is. As I continue my efforts to travel as many places as I can on the globe (I've trekked France and Nicaragua), I still appreciate home and some"down home" cooking. Yes my family has deep roots in the South, but down home for this health conscious earthy-yet gritty girl born in the South Bronx may look like food picked straight from a grandmother's backyard. Food made with Love and Health in mind.

      As an urban chameleon living in BK (Brooklyn for you who may not know) apartment living doesn't easily lend itself to the world of food harvesting. So as one part of the compromise to city living, I enabled myself to stay abreast of the best Vegetarian/Raw food eats that New York City has to offer. As I make my regular pilgrimages to my other favorite cities Washington D.C. and Philly,  I'll add many more physical destinations to my life's journey and take you there with me through food, movement, and art as reflections of a holistic lifestyle. So to kick it off I would like to serve up just a taste of some of my favorite spots to eat in NYC:


and of course for on the go....Whole Foods

Check 'em out, and inJOY!

P.S. Look for my upcoming reviews of these cool places.
