I’m Gusto For This Organic Hot Spot
GustOrganics has quite the resume:
- First and only certified organic restaurant in New York.
- World’s first certified restaurant using 100% organic ingredients.
- First and only USDA certified organic bar on the planet.
- Recognized as a ‘Green Restaurant’ by the Green Restaurant Association
- 100% organic restaurant and bar open 365 days a year (just in case you’re itching for a wheat grass shot Christmas morning)
You can find these stellar credentials in a rustic open air setting at 519 Avenue of the Americas, cooking up a full latin inspired menu for breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner. During my most recent visit, I tried the Pear Strawberry & Pine Nut Salad ($8.95) but had serious food envy for the Grilled Organic Empanadas ($4) and Spinach Risotto ($17) that were at the table next to me.
If you have a little health tot, GustOrganics also offers an Organic baby menu with items served either finely chopped or fully processed in a blender. I know I have all of my teeth but the Tenderloin Beef Puree with Zucchini, Carrot and Bay Leaf looked worth putting on a bib for ($8.95)
