WHOLE FOODS MARKET- BOWERY

REVIEW

February 19, 2009


CUISINE: Asian, Health Food, Salads, Sandwiches, Sushi
NEIGHBORHOOD: East Village, Lower East Side

 

95 E Houston between Bowery and Chrystie

(p) 212- 420- 1320

 

Whole Foods is a wonderful world. Saturdays mean free samples of Cheddar Cheese, Ciao Bella gelato, and the new natural soda of the day.  Cold salad bars boast fresh veggies, chicken, tuna, and tofu salads, cheeses and apples, among many others.  Paralleling the cold food bar are the hot ones with chicken Tikki Masala, mashed potatoes, baked veggies, and a variety of rice.  Mix and match; there is something here for every taste bud.

NEW ASHIYA

REVIEW

February 15, 2009


CUISINE: Japanese, Sushi
NEIGHBORHOOD: East Village

 

167 First Avenue between 10th and 11th stret

(p) 212-505-3348

 

The menu boasts that special rolls are always 50% off, which means this place is really cheap.  Lunch special includes miso soup or salad and two rolls for $6.95.  Regular hand rolls are around three dollars, while the special rolls like the Green River (spicy tuna, tempura flakes, avocado) are around $6.  The sushi is great, though we advise ordering out to avoid beer spilling on you from neighboring sake bombers.  Unless that’s your thing in which case… have fun.
