How to Have a Restful, Healthy Day in NYC

Excellent falafels perfect this Mediterranean bowl. Taim is always a great, filling meal after a workout for under $15.

Som Bo isn't where I go for "authentic" Asian food, but it is where I go for healthy proteins and sides all around $10-11! Solid food, solid prices for a post-workout meal!

Now, you might be like, Billie I don't need you to tell me about Sweetgreen. But let me tell you how to not pay $20 for Sweetgreen and not leave hungry :) 1. Get the voluminous veggies, the ones with chew. Yes this means half kale! If you're going to get just arugula or spring mix, your salad will feel small. 2. Go for quinoa or wild rice! These will help round out the salad. 3. Toppings: Chickpeas (for protein), tomatos, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Ask for the slice of bread. Skip the chicken/fish/etc. And there you go! A $10-12, filling, delicious salad from Sweetgreen.

Ok this one is a little dangerous because there are healthy options, and then there are their heavenly fries. If you can beeline past the fries and choose the roasted veggies instead, Brine makes an excellent meal with their chicken + veggies combo! All under $20.
