So here’s the thing….
A few weeks ago I went to NYC and well— went full blown Hobbit. Eating style that is.
In an effort to try and retry all the good eats the city has to offer, I had several meals a day including multiple snacks in between. 1st Breakfast, 2nd Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Tea, Dinner, Supper…….
Such goodness included…
Dungeness Crab in Sticky Rice in Flushing………..
A full blown traditional robatayaki style dinner at Robataya……
Antipasti at Eataly, Crif Dog, Luke’s Lobster, Halal Cart goodness, Ippudo, Momofuku, Motorino, il laboratorio del gelato, smoked meat sammies, poutine, fried anchovies, organic-local popsicles, cannolis, Doughnut Plant..…..and the list goes on, and on. Did I mention I was there for barely 4 days?
It was glorious dear friends, truly GLORIOUS! And I’m sure the folks from The Shire would have been proud.
But the truth is, somewhere towards the end of my trip I realized I needed to give my body a reprieve when I got home. More greens, less booze, and lighter eating. So, I kidnapped my sister’s juicer, stocked my fridge with tons of produce and got to juicing.
And let me tell you— it’s been delicious! Since I’ve been home I have knocked back a Green Juice everyday. Not too shabby considering I’ve been back for over 3 weeks.
Almost anything goes when it comes to my juices and the ingredients are usually dictated by what is on hand at my farmers market or what’s on sale at the grocery store. The recipe below happens to be one of my favorite combinations of late. They’re rough measurements but you can adjust and add depending on your preference.
I’m not sure how long I’ll stay on my juicing kick but one thing is certain…. my Hobbit-alter-ego will make a reappearance when I go back to NYC this fall. 🙂
Salut!

ippudo and momofuku, two of my favorites!
All the food seems tempting to me! I’m planning to go to NYC sometime this year too, hope I could try some of those.
I love green juices. Not only are they tasty but so good for you. I’ve been looking for a “green machine” look alike, so I will try yours.
Reblogged this on seanmoylan.
hmmm… am I to believe that you’ve not thrown some grey goose in with your green juice at some point?
A food-vacation is the only way to go! And NYC has too many good restaurants, so it’s only natural to eat your way through it 🙂
that is absolutely the only way I want to do NYC… I’m saving this journal!
