Location: 409 3rd Avenue, New York, NY b/w 28 th & 29 th Street
Cuisine: Indian (Vegetarian)
Best Dish: The puri and the cardamom ice cream are tied for our favorite items. The bread was warm and fresh with a light buttery melt in your mouth texture. The ice cream was only slightly sweet with a smooth creaminess that must be experienced.
Cost: $$
Overall: A quaint and comforting vegetarian restaurant with flavorful options and exemplary service.
Celebrity fitness trainer, Autumn Calabrese, has created a unique and delicious 21 Day Fix. Autumn’s program has partnered with Beachbody to help consumers lead a healthy lifestyle. I recently stopped by the W hotel in New York City for a special tasting, where we were able to samples the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert options. The selections included Pumpkin Muffins, Edamame Salad, and Quinoa & Black Bean Salad, to name a few. They all were amazingly good and lean. My absolute favorite was the Oven-Chicken & Protein Waffles. I was not sold on the idea of a protein waffles but I’m a risk taker, so I tried it and fell in love. The taste was pretty darn close to traditional Chicken & Waffles, minus the unhealthy ingredients. The drizzled maple syrup was the icing on the cake.
