What’s not to love at this Chelsea based location of Whole Foods Market? I ran in there the other day hungry as could be and searching for a quick lunch. I had my choice of a salad bar, sushi bar, hot foods, bakery area and more. I chose the sushi bar and had my way with a few varieties of multi-grained rice sushi rolls: tuna and avocado, shrimp and cucumber and two pieces of inari (rice wrapped in fried tofu).

Whole Foods never lets you down and the great part about it is that you can go there every day of the week and never eat the same meal twice. I’ll always be returning to this location and the 6 others in the city for more lunch and dinner goodness.

Sarabeth’s is expanding its local empire by partnering up with Lord & Taylor to open up cafes in eight of its stores. This location, being the first to open up (another on Long Island is now open as well) has two floors worth of eggs and omelettes, jams, sandwiches and salads.  On the 5th floor is the restaurant, open from 11:30am – 4:30pm (menu here) and on the 6th floor is the cafe with hours from 10am-5:30pm (menu here).  If you’ve ever been to a Sarabeth’s before, you’ll know that the lines can be oh-so-long, but oh-so-worth it.
