The Shanti Shack

This place deserves all of your money. A welcome refuge from the hustle & bustle of NYC (yes, even Brooklyn), they offer delicious smoothies 100% worth their value and other sandwiches/salads etc that don't skimp on size. You might think you want to grab something and go, but the inviting atmosphere makes it hard to refuse sitting down and taking a beat. The staff is just as delightful as the food. Cannot say enough good things about this place!

A perfect, quiet, calming, healthy, green, kind-hearted option to escape the grind of NYC. I love their tasty menu that makes you want to make better food choices in your life ....and the environment makes you want to sit for a while with a paper back book or an old journal and just SLOW DOWN. Brownie, who owns the cafe, also offers cleanse programs that don't leave you hungry. 5 juice/smoothie/soup options plus a dinner - for $65 or less a day. It's connected to Kula Yoga project, so there is often class going on while you sip your watermelon aloe juice or iced coconut green tea.

I am not the biggest grilled cheese fan but this one is a MUST! Honestly I was starving and got one with a delightful Hawaiian cup of coffee. When I brought it back to my guy friend's place he was absolutely up for splitting it even though I am pretty sure that he did not want food. It was convenient and so so tasty!
