Healthy bites
Candle 79 - NYC's premiere vegan oasis. Delicious, creative Food Fresh from Farm to Table. Organic wine, spirits, and beers at an elegant eco-bar.
City Bakery City Bakery is one of the most popular food destinations in New York City. Part bakery, part cafe, coffee bar and cafeteria, in a two-level space at Union Square, one of the great neighborhoods of the city. The bakery creates seasonal menus from locally-grown and organic raw materials from the Union Square farmer's market two blocks away. Go for the delicious green juice (just ask for their most popular one) and I also the pumpkin seed wrap. City Bakery also owns Birdbath which is great! They too have the great green juice and the pumpkin seed wrap.

If you want to pair something together:
The Fhitting Room (Lexington Ave) and Exceed (Third Ave) both on the UES (Upper East Side) you will be close to Birdbath, Candle 79, and there is also an Organic Avenue that isn't too far away. SLT midtown is also close to Blue Dog Cafe for a post gym meal.
