Imagine eating healthier, more delicious meals every time you dine out in Manhattan.
"Now you can. I partnered with a seasoned New York food critic to find Manhattan's tastiest, most nutritious cuisine, finding restaurants that will satisfy everyone from raw vegans to the most ardent carnivores. We researched over 300 restaurants (ate at over 125 of them), winnowing them down to the 75 healthiest, most delicious, most enjoyable places in town. The result? Clean Plates NYC, the only guide you'll ever need for eating well in the city."
— Jared Koch, Author, Nutritionist
Dear Fellow Diner:
You're in Manhattan. It's lunchtime. You're craving something healthy and tasty. You need to think fast:
Where should I go out to eat?
You draw a blank. Uggh, not again.
There's that one place that you always go to, but you're so tired of it by now.
You've tried searching the web before, but the sites you find never give you the "full picture." Like whether the restaurant actually serves...
...locally grown and organic produce...
...or hormone and antibiotic free, sustainably raised animal foods...
...or naturally sweetened desserts...
...or gluten-free options...
...or raw or vegan dishes.
Not to mention whether any of the restaurants are actually "food critic approved."
What to do?
There hasn't been much you could do, other than throw your hands up in the air and settle for (a) a less-healthy option that tastes good or (b) the same old veggie burger (or wrap, or salad, or...) that you always get.
Until now.
Introducing Clean Plates NYC: The Only Nutritionist and Food Critic Approved Guide to Healthier and Tastier Eating in Manhattan
You see, as a nutritionist and a foodie, I've felt your pain for many years. So I decided to do something about it—and to put an end to the "Where should I eat?" problem.
We call it Clean Plates NYC not only because you'll likely clean every plate from our selected restaurants until not a single bite is left, but also because you'll feel clean afterwards. Most of us know the sensation that accompanies polishing off a beautiful, sustainably raised piece of fish, a pile of succulent sautéed vegetables, or—for meat eaters—a juicy grass-fed burger. There's something very satisfying about not having to sacrifice taste in order to eat healthier.
Clean Plates NYC is small enough to take with you everywhere you go. And when you read it, you'll discover:
- How to design your own eating plan so that you feel and stay healthy for life with my Five Precepts for Eating Well—based on years of one-on-one experience with clients.
- Tailored recommendations for your eating preferences—vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian, locavore, macrobiotic, sweet-tooth, gluten-free, or carnivorous.
- Entertaining, informative reviews that take the guesswork out of choosing restaurants
- Up-close and personal interviews with seven of Manhattan's most health-conscious and eco-friendly chefs
- Restaurants for every budget and lifestyle—from "healthy fast food" to the most upscale (and, of course, sustainable) dining experiences in Manhattan
- Easy-to-use "quick reference" icons that make scanning for your desired cuisine and price point a breeze
It's already getting rave reviews—from celebrities and everyday diners like you and me alike:
