They just opened another restaurant in Nomad on 27th and 6th Ave! Love this place! Delicious healthy food for a great price!
The food was very good – and cheap, for the city! – but the people working that day definitely did not want to be there. And it showed.
I liked all the healthy options they had, and that you could get yourself a "sampler" of two or three. I went with the three item sampler, of course. Item one was the arugula, goat cheese and strawberry salad. Item two was the charred avocado. Item three was the beet salad.
They also have various gluten-free baked items and different drink options. Incredibly, I ignored the bready stuff and made my way to a table by the windows.
They have a self-serve water station (broken that day) and a spot for you to grab utensils and napkins.
I made my way back to the table only to realize that the guy hadn't given me a dressing for my salad. Hadn't even asked! Who gives a person a salad without even an option for dressing?
So, back up to the line I went to ask him for the missing dressing, and would you believe he scowled at me? For asking for something that he should have provided from the get-go!
Anyway, the food was fresh and tasty. It was a nice change from the heavy, fatty and rich foods we'd consumed before stopping here, and for less than $12, it was quite the bargain.
Just a shame their employees didn't have much pride in their work environment.
AH. MAY. ZING. This place is so freaking good! I'm so happy I stumbled on this place. They have cold salads that are unique and delicious. They have hot items that are full of flavor. They have vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. You can pick 3 or 4 items and believe me, that will be tough. I settled on the kale and black bean salad, the roasted sweet potatoes, and the spring onion and pea cous cous. Everything was so incredibly delicious. Tons of flavor, just the right amount of filling, good to the very last bite. I basically inhaled this because it was so incredibly good. The people that worked there were fast and friendly. It was a bit on the expensive side, but it's worth it believe me. And it's TriBeCa so I feel like people are probably used to the prices. GO HERE! Believe me.
Interesting concept! I liked the push for healthy, well-rounded meals. The food was pretty good; I got sweet potato which was well roasted but a bit bland, charred avocado which was AMAZING and full of flavor and peanut noodles which were very meh and felt out of place. I was surprised at how full I was after the meal but it held me over for 5-6 hours and I felt super clean after eating it! Service was efficient and the decor of the restaurant is nice and bright. The location was full (top and bottom level seating) but we were able to outside the storefront and enjoy our food. The tray holding the food is compostable which is great. I would definitely go back — especially for the charred avocado!
Got veg plate through uber eats during the $6 promo. Broccoli was flavorful and quinoa was refreshing but kale salad was sandy (the chia definitely didn't help with that). Filtered water has a surprising kick to it. Food was prepared fast and I would order again.
I wouldn't claim myself as a healthy food enthusiast as I've much rather spend my money on a good juicy burger and fries, but I've always wanted to try the "American 4 choice, 1 soup" concept (except the American version is pick 3 veggie sides or 2 veggie sides and a protein). Though Dig Inn is more known this as they have more store fronts, Mulberry and Vine has been on my to try list instead because they simply have more options. Not only does Mulberry and Vine has more variety, everything they offer sounds better too!
The store from the outside looks rather small and like a to-go spot, but once you step inside, you'll be shocked at how spacious it is; there's 2 floors of seating! It's a popular spot, so once you get on line, I highly recommend looking at the menu on the wall and deciding as the line moves rather quickly. (Tip – if you'd like a drink, grab it before you get on line, because everything's streamlined, so once you get your food order, you're straight at the cashier. Don't be that person to hold up the line!) But don't be too set on your protein – they actually have some items that aren't on the menu wall. I saw they had herb baked chicken wings when I got to the front and immediately chose that!
Along with my wings, I chose the vegetable medley base, which is basically mashed sweet potatoes and had the peanut glass noodles as one of the veggie sides, and the quinoa with snap peas as the other. I think for quinoa, you either love it or you don't -I learned I don't love quinoa, so I wouldn't recommend this as a side. Highly recommend the peanut glass noodles – I LOVED the peanut glass noodles! If I can buy a bowl of this, I would! The wings were also really good – if you're eating this with someone, make sure you're comfortable with the person because you'll need to use your hands to gobble these wings (no polite fork and knife to cut these!) The sweet potatoes were nothing special – just sweet potatoes, though they were a little under-seasoned.
It's a bit pricey at ~$13, but hey you're in the financial district. And it's healthy food, so they could technically charge more. I'll be back for the peanut glass noodles! Hopefully they'll have the beef stew when I return too!
I had a late night appointment at a bathhouse … which sounds really bad, but it's completely innocent. Ain't nothing sexy about a good shvitz and soak. Obviously, I wanted dinner to be light and healthy. I mean, could you imagine eating something like fried chicken and mac & cheese before going into a steam room? I feel like that would be a decision we all would regret.
I dragged my shvitzing partner to Mulberry & Vine. We perused the offerings, and I noticed every side was covered in some kind of sauce or nut. I can't deny that pesto makes everything taste better, but it would be nice to have one side without a bunch of added fat or sugar, especially if it's just gonna sit there and soak in it. Despite the variety of the NYC food scene, I find it hard to eat healthy here. Or maybe it's that there's too much temptation? It's like, fuck you Brussels sprouts, where's the bagel and cream cheese.
This place was awesome. While everything is pre-made, you can tell it is very fresh and healthy. They probably had 15 selections and you can do a "pick two veggies" or "pick two veggies and one protein" and both come with your choice of brown rice or mixed veggie mash.
I had the tofu with cauliflower chili and peanut glass noodles with brown rice. It was filling yet refreshing and not too heavy. Service was quick but not overly friendly. At the same time, it is fast food so I wouldn't expect much more.
Verdict: healthy, refreshing, plenty of options for everyone and I wish we had these in Canada.
