ATHLEISURE LIST | JUICE GENERATION

Earlier this month, we headed over to Juice Generation for the launch of Juiced Gelato! For those who have yet to enjoy cold-pressed juices at their locations or when they are shipped to you, we'll fill you in!

Juice Generation was founded by Eric Helms in 1999 with a goal to make fresh raw juices available to NYers as an accessible options for whatever our lifestyles were and dietary backgrounds.

The brand continued to grow by offering cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls. Over the years they have grown their locations and they ship nationwide.

They are known for their Get Ur Green On, Supe Dupa Greens, Celery, Watermelon Dragon, Carrot Apple Ginger, Citrus Super C, and Spicy Lemon cold pressed juices, they fuel your body with essential nutrients that are low in sugar. These have been drinks that we have oscilated between on a number of visits.

This month, they launched Juiced Gelato which takes their organic, cold-pressed juices to the next level to have them in a gelato format! Not only is it great for the hot weather that we have been enjoying, but the nutrients are next level! Currently, this gelato is available in their Williamsburg location in Brooklyn as well as in the Meatpacking District in NYC. When you're enjoying your scoops, you can have it in a cup or in a cone. This cone is 100% plant-based and is known as the world's first-ever cold-pressed cone. It's made from upcycled organic juice pulp. It's crispy, wholesome, gluten-free and hand-crafted specifically for Juiced Gelato.

On the night of the launch we were able to enjoy the range of gelatos along with champagne. We love that the range is low sugar, sweetened by agave and has no dairy. Here are our 3 favorites:

Supa Dupa Greens has a tangy taste of green apple and every shade of green. It includes only 4 grams of added sugar per serving.

Celery is energizing with light and zesty lemon. There are only 5 grams of added sugar per serving.

Spicy Lemon bursts with tart and tingling lemon-ginger-cayenne refreshment. It has 6 grams of added sugar per serving.

Keep your eye out for when you can get this gelato shipped to you!

ATHLEISURE LIST | SAVTA

A longtime Los Angeles resident, Vincent Benoliel is bringing his West Coast flair in the kitchen to New York with Savta, his California-inspired restaurant located in Greenwich Village. It is his second project in NYC following the opening of Pasta Corner (shared in the SEP ISSUE #93 2023 of Athleisure List) in the summer of 2023 with friend French pop star Matt Pokora. Vincent owns another branch of Pasta Corner in LA, along with his bakery there, Michelina. The inspiration behind Savta (meaning grandmother in Hebrew) is Vincent’s grandmother Lisou Dahan, who ran two restaurants in the south of France and first taught Vincent about cooking.

The decor and ambiance at Savta is very Greenwich Village and cozy with exposed brick and inviting wood line the intimate space that features a welcoming outdoor back garden that is heated during cooler months. There is a long bar that leads to the dining room and garden filled with plants.

Savta is offering lunch from 12-5pm Wednesdays - Fridays. We suggest these 3 dishes for your next meal here: The sandwiches on pizza dough have been a smash hit for lunch at Savta. Don't miss the Parma Affair with grilled chicken, prosciutto, burrata, pesto and basil; Skirt Steak with chimichurri and a spinach salad with shaved parmesan cheese; and the Mushroom Toast with creme fraiche and thyme.

Dinner is from 5pm Wednesday through Sunday, with pizza and drinks served until late on Fridays (1am) and Saturdays (2am). The dinner menu is already packed with favorites like the Sauteed Corn with feta cheese, cilantro and a yogurt sauce; Spianata Pizza with piccante calabrese salumi, grilled peppers and fior di latte cheese; and the Dry-aged Ribeye with hand cut fries. Vincent also recommends trying a new dish, the Sea Bass with mint tzatziki and roasted pumpkin seeds.

Brunch is on the weekend from 11am-4pm. It's been a favorite on Bleecker Street since its opening weekend. We suggest the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on a homemade croissant; the Japanese Eggplant with agrodolce, tahini, sumac and cherry tomatoes; and new to the menu is the Bleecker Street Hot Dog — two beef sausages on pizza dough bread served with onions, mustard, ketchup and sweet relish.

They offer wines from California, Italy and France, including prosecco on tap, plus beer. Some low ABV cocktails Vincent recommends include the Bleecker Mule (the house take on a Moscow Mule), Espresso Martini and Passion Margarita with passion fruit puree and a black-salt rim.

If you're swinging by for Happy Hour, it takes place from 5pm - 7pm Wednesday through Friday. You can enjoy a glass of Pinot Grigio or Malbec for $9, a glass of Prosecco for $11, and a Bleecker Mule for $14.

They're looking to push the boundaries with their concepts for people to have incredible experiences.

This lounge is an escape for every music lover, a place where time stands still and memories are made. The venue not only offers music but stories, cultures, and connections.

When James Pfautz conceptualized the lighting design and consulted on the interior design, he wanted to compliment the concrete and wood tones as the negative space. This created an opportunity to highlight textured wood grains, industrial curved concrete, and warm-toned plush fabrics. The inspiration is the balance between blending analog movement with modern tech inputs.

The Vinyl Room redefines the way music is experienced. Billed as the venue's listening bar, featuring high-quality audio equipment set in an acoustically optimized environment, partons will experience high-fidelity sounds in an intimate setting. An ideal scene for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. The space pays homage to the art of listening, providing a meticulously crafted audio environment where every note, beat, and harmony is felt deeply.

The Lounge is ideal for those who like to pair movement and music and features the energy of live performances, DJ sets, and more. The Lounge invites guests to dance and mingle.

We suggest 3 cocktails to enjoy: HI-FI Collins - Mezcal, cocchi americano, lemon, muddled cucumbers; Martinez Martini - Angostura bitters, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur, gin, orange peer; and One Hit Wonder - Cocolopez, giffard abricot, plantation dark, diplomatico rum.

They are currently working on a light bites menu with Chef Neil Strauber. Guests can enjoy a special family-style dinner with the added benefit of guaranteed entry into our MFAW or a reserved table downstairs, along with a complimentary bottle of liquor.

Packages include: Tier 1: At $75 per person, this package offers dinner and drink pitchers, with guaranteed entry to our MFAW experience and Tier 2: For $125 per person, guests get dinner with bottle service, including drink pitchers at dinner and a bottle post-dinner, available for groups of 6+.

ATHLEISURE LIST | YAO

YAO opened on Jan. 29th of 2024. Executive Chef-Owner, Kenny Leung, immersed himself in a government culinary program in Canton, China. After graduating, Chef Kenny flourished at Canton’s prestigious White Swan Hotel and Restaurant; it was the only restaurant to earn a Michelin Star. In 1988, he moved to NYC to join the culinary landscape. In 2015, he co-founded August Gatherings with Thomas Tang.

Thomas is an Owner-Operator, who grew up as the son of one of China’s top chefs who catered for regal events. As an adult, he moved to New York City. He met Chef Kenny while working together in the original location of August Gatherings. They decided to purchase the Canal Street location and have been partners since.

Every detail of YAO’s interior reflects the harmonious blend of Chef Kenny’s culinary art and meticulous eye for design.

YAO is a modern Cantonese cuisine located in the Financial District. Center to the YAO’s ethos are the crown jewels of Cantonese cuisine, abalone, sea cucumber, and fish maw.

The six-course tasting menu, named “Jia Yan”, a Chinese word loosely translating to “a celebratory family gathering” or “banquet begins with an amuse bouche followed by Shikoku Bamboo Shrimp Dumpling. The banquet continues with Gold Leaf wrapped Fried Abalone, sustainably sourced grade-6 wild abalone from South Africa that is deep-fried, sitting atop a house made sauce on a crispy wonton skin, wrapped in edible gold leaf. This creates several layers of texture, notable in Cantonese cuisine.

One of the main stars of the progression is the Alaskan King Crab Wensi Tofu Soup. The broth is a two-day production, made from the shell of the crab with ham and chicken, not boiled, then placed in a water bath. Grilled Angus Short Rib is tenderized with kiwi, drizzled tableside in a pear and oyster sauce. Longevity Noodles with Fish Maw is a jewel in Cantonese cuisine as it's rich in collagen. The final course of the progression is their seasonal signature dessert, a warm Deep Fried Mochi Sesame Ball filled with Red Bean Paste served on top of a homemade seasonal fuji apple sorbet.

The six-course tasting menu is available for both lunch and dinner, Monday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m.

In addition, you can order from the a la carte menu as well. For appetizers, we suggest Brown Sugar Duck Thigh, Shumai Abalone and Pork as well as Fried Crab Meat with Shrimp dim sum. For entrees, we suggest Oven Roasted Black Angus Short Rib, Wensi Tofu Soup and Assorted Organic Mushrooms in Hot Stone Pot.

ATHLEISURE LIST | PASTA

Pasta is co-founded by the talented husband-wife duo Juan Manuel Umbert and Janice Buraschi in 2019 and embodies a love story interwoven with culinary passion. Their love for open kitchen concepts is inspired their need to create simple, fresh ingredients, and passion for the culinary arts. Juan Manuel and Janice’s dream of creating a pasta dining experience came to life first in a 25-seat eatery in Lima. Now, they are thrilled to bring this authentic pasta journey to Miami's vibrant food scene.

The restaurant is not Italian-Peruvian cuisine, but is focused on traditional pastas by Peruvian chefs. Guests will not find Peruvian Italian pasta, but they can expect to see the synergy between the two cuisines and a respect for it!

The chefs are passionate about pasta and it was also something that was missing in Lima when they opened their first location. It also is what blew their minds the first time they visited Italy. There is something so rewarding about making something that appears to be so simple yet so complex with your hands and making people happy with it.

They opened their restaurant in Italy with much success, but with the pandemic and the political crisis in Peru, they wanted to go abroad. Miami is an amazing city that has been increasing their restaurant openings. The chefs also have relatives and friends there as well.

The Miami location has an open kitchen and a rustic, modern, and minimalistic vibe. The menu is the same as what is in Lima with ingredients that are found in the US. They are also excited to have ingredients from Italy brought to Miami.

We suggest for appetizers: the housemade Stracciatella with their housemade sourdough bread, the razor clams with nduja salsa verde, and the bruschetta with housemade nduja, honey, and 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano.

For their signature dishes, we have our eye on: the pici cacio e pepe, pappardelle with 15-hour braised beef cheek ragù, and the mushroom agnolotti.

To conclude your meal, these desserts are a great way to enjoy something sweet: Pistachio tart, tiramisu (made with their housemade mascarpone) and their tarta de quesos.

Cocktails that are perfect to pair with your meal include: Milano Torino or a spritz as an aperitif, and great Italian wines will pair with everything.

ATHLEISURE LIST | 87 LUDLOW

On Oct 25th of this year, 87 Ludlow opened with a menu that showcases Filipino-Spanish tapas by Chef/Owner Aris Tuazon and travels to Spain and his Filipino heritage.

On our next visit, 3 tapas that we should try on our next visit: Oyster Sisig is a unique take on the popular sizzling Filipino chopped pork sisig, instead made with the prized Filipino Aklan oysters that are coated in tempura batter, fried, chopped and served in a hot mini skillet with Japanese mayonnaise, scallions, onion and quail egg. Also Callos Beef Tripe with housemade chorizo de Cebu (longannisa sausage), and garbanzo beans, as well as Pulpo grilled octopus with pineapple chimichurri and romesco that’s a best seller and a dish that’s inspired by Spanish cuisine.

In terms of entrées, 3 that we should try include: a take on the Filipino Braised Pork, the Pork Belly Humba is made with tender pork belly (cooked 4 to 6 hours), which comes in an aromatic sauce accented by dry lily blossoms. The Sizzling Crispy Pata, which is deep-fried boneless pork hock with tamarind that’s served in a skillet - an ode to the popular Filipino crispy pork leg dish. And Bone Marrow Steak, served in a skillet – an ode to the popular Filipino crispy pork leg dish, and ribeye with fried jasmine rice cooked with Japanese soy sauce and wagyu beef tallow.

3 sides that we should have to accomany meal include the Longganisa Fried Rice with Housemade Longganisa Sausage and Toasted Focaccia Bread - it is great for dipping in olive oil and mopping up the sauces on other dishes.

Cocktails are always a great part of the meal and we should have these 3 cocktails in mind: The Espresso Martini, Yuzu Cava, and Ginger Soju.

Yuki Minakawa is a certified sake sommelier and former Beverage Director of the then 2 Michelin star Sushi Ginza Onodera in NYC. She has worked in some of the city’s top Japanese restaurants including Masa, EN Japanese Brasserie and Kajitsu, starting in front of house positions before becoming a sake sommelier and diving into the world of cocktails as well. She created sake and shochu cocktails for 87 Ludlow.

Diners enter the bar room first, walking right by the small vinyl collection and a long wooden bar leading to the back dining room. The dining room is parallel to the bar, separated by a wall from the bar. The space is intimate and cozy, filled with green plants and colorful paintings from New York artist Sean Maze. There is a large table in the back that’s great for groups, plus a DJ setup in the front for when the night goes late and weekends. Downstairs, there is a lounge with its own bar that’s available for private events.

ATHLEISURE LIST | SEASONED VEGAN

We're always on the lookout for great vegan bites and founder, Brenda "Chef B" Beener had always cooked for her family and when her husband went plant-based, that's when her vegan journey began. In 2010, she opened a 6-foot table inside of Lee Lee's Bakery in Harlem. She would later open Harlem's first full-service vegan restaurant with her son Aaron Beener in 2014 for 9 years before closing earlier this year, with the quick-service eatery that opened in the East Village on Aug 23rd. Fans of Seasoned Vegan have included Stevie Wonder, Danny Glover, Cory Booker, Colin Kaepernick and most recently in its newest location, Yara Shahidi has swung by.

The beauty of Seasoned Vegan is that dishes pull from the family's New Orleans roots. Clearly, the sandwiches are a great way to have a gratifying meal! The BBQ Craw is great with a unique protein made with burdock root. It was a fan favorite in Harlem and now that it’s made on the flattop grill, it’s even better. The new SV Nugget Sandwich came from customers constantly asking them to make a fried “chicken” sandwich. The tangy sauce on it is one of the items they stopped making during the pandemic shutdown so a lot of people are excited that it’s back! And lastly, the Craw Pretzel Boy Sandwich is a twist on their old Po Boy Sandwich - now served on a pretzel bun.

Their famous Seasoned Vegan Fries are also back (they were discontinued for a few years in Harlem and have returned) - they’re extra crispy shoestring fries with a delicious Cajun seasoning that’s a must try.

We're excited to share that the team at Seasoned Vegan has revealed in this eature for the first time, 2 fan favorites that are now available! In addition to enjoying their fries, another great side that is returning to the menu soon will be fan favorite - Seasoned Vegan Mac and "Cheese." Although it was not on the original menu at their new location, hands down it has been the most requested item! We're glad to hear that it's back! Another great item has made its way to the new location. Their Raw Kale Salad was at he original table at Lee Lee's Bakery and was never available at the Harlem location, so it's exciting to know that you can order it in their new home in the East Village!

You should definitely keep an eye out for additional items that will be added as there are savory as well as sweet items that are in the works! Whether you're popping in or checking out your IG, there's more to come for sure!

To complete your meal, Chef B's vegan cupcakes is an absolute home run!

ATHLEISURE LIST | PAROS TRIBECA

We always love a BRAVO Top Chef moment and this month's Athleisure List comes from Season 12 Finalist, Chef George Pagonis and his brother, Nicholas. They wanted to bring Greek cuisine to Tribeca since they had looked for the perfect space and finally found the one they fell in love with in this neighborhood.

Paros comes from memories that the brothers enjoyed when their family would visit their home in Paros, Greece as they had a summer home there. It was a no brainer to name the restaurant after the source of these great memories.

The restaurant's ambiance is warm and welcoming. As a family-owned restaurant, they treat their guests as if they are part of that family. The restaurant's interior is a direct reflection of Paros' allure, capturing the essence of Cycladic architecture and the island's streetscapes. Stepping inside, you're immediately transported to Paros' tranquility.

We suggest that 3 appetizers that you should have on your mind are their Grilled Octopus (fava, roasted peppers, onions and capers), Lamb Kleftico (slow-roasted lamb shoulder, shallots, Grecian cheese blend, wrapped in filo), and Kolokithokeftedes (crispy zucchini fritters, lemon yogurt).

For your entree when you're with friends and family, we suggest their whole fish - specifically Fagri (pink snapper from Aegean, with full flavor and firm texture), Lamb Shank Youvetsi (slowly braised lamb shank in tomato sauce, orzo and mlzithra), and Filet Mignon Kebab (marinated and grilled, harissa toast, crispy fingerlings, chimichurri).

We love the idea of pairing these dishes with Gigantes, Brussels Sprouts, and Lemon Potatoes.

To complete this meal, you can't go wrong with sharing a Baklava, Portokalopita, or Cheesecake.

We love a great cocktail and we suggest that you enjoy their Grecian-Tini (Grey Goose Vodka, Skinos Mastiha, mint, cucumber), Hellas Word (Ford's Gin, Yellow Chartreuse, vyzina cherry syrup), and The Mr Tony (Old Forester Bourbon, fig syrup, walnut bitters). If you want to enjoy Greek spirits, Mastiha, Ouzo, and Tsipouro are on the list!

Although they currently only have dinner service, in a few weeks, brunch will be available and a few weeks after that, they will have a lunch service as well!

For those that are thinking about the holiday season, they plan on being closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. They will have a NYE party!

ATHLEISURE LIST | PASTA CORNER

Pasta Corner is a modern and cozy eatery that's fun with details like pink neon signs, vintage black and white photos, pasta themed prints, mirrors, even a swing! Guests can see fresh pasta being made in the window before they enter. The front area has fresh pasta, pastries and other gourmet items offered to stay or to go. The dining area has exposed brick walls, comfy black banquettes and tabletops, and leads to the open kitchen counter.

The idea for Pasta Corner came during the pandemic when LA bakery owner Vincent Benoliel and his longtime friend, the French popstar Matt Pokora (married to Christina Milian) were sharing a house and cooking during the lockdown. They cooked a lot of pasta based on Vincent’s family recipes. His grandmother owned two restaurants including a Mediterranean one in Antibes in the south of France where Vincent worked and learned before coming to NY. Paris born, Vincent has French pastries in his blood. His LA bakery Michelina, an artisanal boulangerie and patisserie at The Original LA Farmers Market, is a favorite of Padma Lakshmi, who loves their croissants. They combined the two by opening Pasta Corner's first location in LA and now here in NY.

For breakfast, we suggest their signature Hazelnut Praline Croissant, and the Classic Butter Croissant - all made with butter from Normandy, France.

For lunch, we're getting appetizers that include the Cheese and Charcuterie Platter, Eggplant Parmigiana, and the Garlic Bread.

For pasta, Vincent's personal favorite is the bestselling (at every Pasta Corner location, including LA, Paris and NY) Lumache Pink Vodka, a snail-shaped pasta with vodka sauce, red pepper flakes, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and fresh parsley. Matt Pokora’s favorite is the Black Truffle Tagliatelle with truffle sauce and fresh truffles shaved on top, as well as the hearty Beef Ragu Pappardelle.

Complete your meal with their housemade desserts - the Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, and gluten-free Chocolate Mousse Praline are not to be missed.

For Sunday brunch, there is a large buffet with selections of pastries, charcuterie and cheeses, lots of vegetables, deviled eggs, pasta salad, and for dessert tiramisu, bread pudding, and more. There is an egg station for hot egg dishes and guests can add truffles (for an additional cost) to them.

Pasta Corner is a hybrid restaurant and grocery, guests can purchase high quality fresh pastas by the pound made with Italian Caputo flour, pastries, antipasti, charcuterie, and house made pasta sauces, along with gourmet products like olive oils, balsamic vinegar, spices, chocolates, caviar and fresh truffles.

When it comes to lunch, start off with a salad to begin your meal. The Bufala, which comes with tomato, mozzarella di bufala and basil is great to share. For an entrée, they have a selection of Piadinas, a rustic Italian sandwich made on flatbread flown directly from Italy. The Romagnola Piadina, Prosciutto di Parma, stracchino-cheese, arugula and salsa Nomad is loved by many diners. Diners should order the Tiramisu as it is a light end to the meal.

For dinner, start your meal with the Wagyu Carpaccico, arugula salad, shaved parmesan and mustard sauce, which is perfect for sharing. For pasta lovers, the Trofie Pesto e Burrata, basil pesto and cherry tomato as well as the Tagliatelle Bolognese, fresh Tagliatelle with freshly made veal Bolognese sauce. We also suggest dishes like USDA Prime Organic-certified Skirt Steak, served with arugula salad and shaved Parmigiano and Sesame-Crusted Tuna served with a mixed green salad with onions, avocado and cherry tomatoes.

ATHLEISURE LIST | RUA THAI BAR

Rua Thai opened in July 2023 in Brooklyn. Thailand is known for its floating markets, where vendors offer food, handicrafts and souvenirs from traditional wooden boats afloat on khlongs (canals). Chef and co-owner Kornpon Theeraumpornkul grew up in the province of Ratchaburi in central Thailand, home to Damnoen Saduak, one of the largest and most famous floating markets in the country. Rua (rowboat in Thai) pays homage to the markets and his family, who sold food at the market.

Chef Kornpon's grandmother taught him most of the family recipes. He enjoyed modifying the recipes to create something new and to have his family try them for feedback. When he came to the US, he worked in the kitchen alongside many skillful chefs at Prem-On, one of the most famous Thai restaurants in New York at that time. Later he became the head chef at one of the most popular Thai restaurants in New York called Yum Yum. He worked for about 20 years in New York restaurant industry before opening Rua Thai.

Ingredients and spices that are indicative of Thai cuisine are Thai chili, white pepper, and lemongrass.

3 Appetizers we suggest to try are the Shrimp Donuts served stacked on a sugarcane stick, RUA Fresh Summer Rolls with beautiful edible flowers, and Crispy Calamari with their signature egg yolk seafood mayonnaise dipping sauce.

3 Entrees that we suggest are: Mama Tom Yum Grilled River Prawns served over sauteed tom yum flavored ramen noodles; Fish Curry Custard with butterfly pea rice, and Pla Tod Numpla crispy whole branzino with mango salad.

We added Kanom Jeen Rice Vermicelli a perfect rice for summer with curries and other dishes. Thai Fried Rice and Basil Fried Rice also go well with many dishes.

Cocktails are created by one of the co-owners Dolporn Thongneam and a bartender. We suggest trying Chom Bueng is made with whiskey with a touch of lemongrass and homemade honey syrup, it is smoked and served covered to be unveiled at the table - it brings the experience to the next level.

Pak Tho, a watermelon mojito, is a thirst-quenching cocktail that’s great for the summer, the watermelon makes it very refreshing.

Suan Pueng is a cocktail created to pair with Thai food, it has a gin base and a hint of basil which goes very well with gin.

To complete your meal and to end with something sweet, we suggest Mango Sticky Rice, Coconut Pudding, and Chocolate Lava Cake.
