Top Nutrition Bites

The eat-well finds of 2009 that we won't soon forget.

This past year, we learned to brew kombucha, became buddy-buddy with Brussels sprouts, and more. We nibbled, we tippled, we indulged. (Hey, it's a tough job.) Here, we go back for seconds on some of our top picks.

  • Friday Night Dinners

    An A+ Meal

    What: Inspired by Top Chef, we dined on a four-course meal prepared by the graduating students from the Natural Gourmet Institute.
    Where: Friday Night Dinner, 6:30PM, 48 W. 21st St., 2nd Fl., (212) 645-5170, MAP
    Why: The $40 dinner passed with flying colors, plus it's BYOB!

  • Blue Dog Cafe

    Out to lunch

    What: Team Vital Juice, who calls midtown home, happened upon a healthy lunch spot that's doggone good: Blue Dog Cafe.
    Where: 155 W. 56th St., (212) 459-2520‎, MAP
    Why: Crisp salads, fresh sandwiches, and pressed juices are bow-wow!

  • Siggi's New Flavors

    Dairy good news

    What: Siggi's launched three delicious new flavors: vanilla, açai, and grapefruit.
    Where: Multiple locations
    Why: The Icelandic style yogurt is strained, so it contains more milk than regular yogurt and two to three times the protein. 

  • Frosting Shots at Tribeca Treats

    How Sweet It is

    What: We satisfied our sweet tooth with perfectly portioned frosting shots for $1 from Tribeca Treats.
    Where: 94 Reade St., (212) 571-0500, MAP
    Why: Because the occasional indulgence helps prevent an all out bender.
