Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!! Hope you are all enjoying this loving day with yourself and with others.
Last night, Jeff and I headed to Brooklyn to meet some friends, one of which is a fellow counselor that I went to nutrition school with, Debra. She is also an amazing personal trainer that I was lucky enough to work with when I was living in NYC.
She and her husband Evan just moved to Brooklyn and we were so excited to go see their place and eat at a local restaurant.
There are tons of great spots in Park Slope for the health conscious (we passed by a place called the Tea Lounge which is adorable and I totally wanted to go in). We decided on a place called The V Spot.
It is this adorable Vegan cafe with lots of comfort food options. We got a bunch of appetizers to split, including Kale Tostada which is kale, beans, avocado and salsa on top of a crunchy tortilla. This was my favorite!!
Spring Rolls with veggies and rice paper wrap
Nori Rolls
Plantain chips
Nachos with vegan cheese (they use Daiya), beans, guac, salsa and vegan sour cream
And I added a salad to my dinner; some of the others had soup too.
Some silly antics at the table
I really loved the cafe. The food wasn’t amazing but it was good and satisfying and I did not miss the meat at all.
OH! – and coming soon, I will give you the scoop on something amazing that Debra has created…stay tuned….
