Exploring the streets of New York City is one of my favorite things to do. Looking for new discoveries or going to recommended ones, I never stop. This is not a traditional food blog. I don't focus on restaurant reviews, or cooking tips; but I find specific items that you absolutely must try. Whether it be a cranberry donut or the best cappuccino. The focus isn't on the usual, but the cheap, the best, and the hidden.

I am always looking for new places to go! Send me a tweet, or leave me a tip of your favorite place or find in the comments!

I really don’t know how I’m going to do this. Well, I’m about to show you all just how much I care about you. This is one of the best places Manhattan has to offer. In what category? Food. Bold statement? Yeah. True? Yes.

Taim. 

It is just one of those go to places. The food is amazing. Amazing squared. I can go on all day with superfluous phrases. Want another? Sorry, I’m done for the day. Anyway, I won;t go on all day about the food. It’s called Taim falafel and smoothie bar for a reason. The smoothies are fantastic. They are embarrassingly good. It makes you think back to the time you had that Jamba Juice, and you feel bad for yourself. You wonder why. Then you just want to hide. I’m even embarrassed for you. Shameful.. You can pick from a pre-made menu of combinations, or you can create your own. The date lime banana is just perfection, and usually trumps any creation I can ever come up with. Go, eat the food, get a smoothie. You are now more of a New Yorker than before you read this. Welcome to the West Village.

Something it truly doesn’t get much better than, uncovered.

Tip: Recently voted best falafel by Serious Eats.

Tip: There is a Taim truck coming this fall. (omg)

Tip: Order the fries with saffron dipping sauce, falafel sandwich or platter.                            (the sandwich comes to $5 and some change. Great deal..it’s huge)

Tip: Cash only

Tip: Limited seating. Small bench outside. About 8 chairs inside (it’s tiny).
