The Weekly Yelp NYC - Manhattan

Don't Kale My Vibe Kale salad at Northern Spy Co. – Amy S Kale. The word alone probably evokes images of tight jeans, Warby Parker frames, fixed gear bicycles... but despite its correlation to our current state of food hipsterdom, kale has always been one of nature's finest super foods. Now more ubiquitous on on menus around Manhattan than ever, let's take a glimpse at some of the borough's finest stops for bitter greens. Dimes 69 reviews Chinatown 143 Division St, New York, NY American (New) “This place loves kale, which is cool because kale is awesome. But seriously, all of the salads are kale based. I had the kale, gooseberry and feta salad. It was bright, delicious and very refreshing.” Amira S., Manhattan, NY Northern Spy Food Co. 653 reviews East Village 511 E 12th St, New York, NY American (Traditional) “Oh, hail to the kale salad! Leafy kale strips tossed in with toasted almonds and slivers of butternut squash and topped with bits of pecorino and cheddar cheese was the perfect mix of sweet, savory, soft and crunchy.” Olivia S., New York, NY Gato 236 reviews NoHo 324 Lafayette St, New York, NY Mediterranean, Spanish, Bars “Kale and wild mushroom paella - perfectly executed with a beautiful socarrat that is dug up from the bottom of the pan and mixed in for you by the server. The crispy artichokes and over easy egg on top were great additions that accentuated the dish.” Nameeta K., New York, NY Tiny’s & the Bar Upstairs 192 reviews TriBeCa 135 W Broadway, New York, NY Bars, American (New) “The pièce de résistance - the kale salad. Seriously amazing. Not sure what it is about it but I love it. Large but light - the dressing is perfectly done.” Patrice N., New York, NY Whitman’s 352 reviews East Village 406 E 9th St, New York, NY Burgers “The crack kale is deep fried kale and it has an impossibly crisp texture with a nice oily/salty flavor. Definitely worth getting.” Jae C., Manhattan, NY Westville 504 reviews Chelsea 246 W 18th St, New York, NY American (New) “I had the heathy and plentiful poached eggs over kale salad. You get a good pile of kale with shaved Parmesan, avocado and nice, crispy, thick bacon - delish.” Stephanie C., New York, NY Blossom Du Jour 101 reviews Hell's Kitchen 617 9th Ave, New York, NY Vegan “I had a kale wrap and was impressed with the amount of it - generous, not just a few wilted leaves - and the combination of the dressing and sweet potatoes that went along with the greens.” Heather J., Coram, NY Bombay Sandwich Co. 109 reviews Flatiron 48 W 27th St, New York, NY Indian, Vegetarian, Sandwiches “The bowls are my go-to, filled with rice, hot sauce, cucumber salad, apple and garlic pickle, kale & walnut pesto and your choice of lentils or chickpeas these are easily my favorite, all the flavors of a slow cooked Indian meal.” Pippa L., Manhattan, NY
