All this to say, I know my health food.
I hate to say it but this is where Erewhon has Happier Grocery beat.
While it was a solid smoothie, the four ingredients were way too basic to justify its price tag.
It consisted of dense, fudgy layers of a brownie-like cake smothered in vanilla bean frosting.
Just like Erewhon, they had a wall of expensive healthy drinks.
They also had fancy water that was more reasonably priced at $3-4 a bottle.
A strawberry Gatorade dupe and pink lemonade for $11.99??
If anyones buying that, NYC kids should all be opening lemonade stands.
This made sense, given that it was the lunch rush hour, but it also seemed promising.
Their turkey sandwich was absurdly priced at $15.50.
The rest of the hot bar had everything from roast beef and grilled salmon to various sides.
There was even an onigiri bar that was made to order.
Just what every grocery shopping trip needs.
Lastly, I decided to venture downstairs to see what else was in store.
