"My favorite place in New York, and the essence of what makes that city great. All of the pricey, shrill smoothie joints were a generation late. Great quality, variety and service from behind a pile of fresh produce. I love dinner by the pound, healthy and tasty whether you're vegetarian or carnivore (I'm the latter). The owner is not only courteous, but once helped me go through the trash an hour after I dropped $40 on it. When I've been away for a year, the staff give me a quick smile, then get my order. Simply the best. Thank you."
