eating clean in nyc

in new york, each neighborhood is blessed with a variety of cuisines and price points on every block. but when it comes down to it, new yorkers are not exactly known for their ‘home cooking.’  instead they have been given the unique gift of enjoying the tasty fruits of some of the world’s most amazing culinary artists.  sadly, tastiness usually comes with a guilt-ridden calorie count, and now with obesity (and vanity) levels rising, even New Yorkers, the very ambulatory society, are still looking for healthier options that don’t require a cooking class.

[enter: Clean Plates NYC]

Clean Plates NYC is a new guidebook to healthy eating without sacrificing flavor or neglecting your taste buds for those who are not into just nibbling on bean sprouts and raw veggies.  the love child of Jared Koch (nutritionist and wellness counselor) and Alex Van Buren (food critic),  Clean Plates NYC showcases the healthiest, tastiest and most sustainable restaurants in manhattan.  healthy but not tasty enough?  then it didn’t make their list.  yummy in your mouth but not in your stomach? definitely didn’t make the list.

new yorkers – you’ll thank yourself when you hit the beach this season!
