How do we choose a place that fits our health intentions for ourselves and allows us to be social and accepted by friends for our food choices?

Gobo: Vegetarian and nice, 401 6th Ave. 212-255-3242
Hearth: 403 East 12th St. 646 602 1300. Great food from farm sources. You can always ask them to cook in olive oil only and omit the butter.
ICI-Restaurant, 246 DeKalb avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. 718-789-2778. This is my favorite local place. They cook slowfood, and good food. Not to mention, the place feels both causal and dressed up enough to be a great hang-out with friends or a special dinner date.

Quartino Bottega Organica: 11 Bleeker, 212-529-5133. Organic wholesome pasta and the only "healthyish" pizza I have been able to find. But you can also go for their daily fresh fish.
Savoy: Wonderful sustainable food, great little lunch platter.
Souen: 2 locations — 210 6th Ave. in Soho and 28 East 13th St., by Union Square. Healthy food and macrobiotic cuisine.
The Tasting Room in NYC: A new location, but the same amazing sustainable and mostly locally farmed food. The orginal location is for a lighter fare. This is one of my favorite self-nourishing choices for an excellent dinner. 212 358 7831
