Nûrish: Soul food that's good for the body too!
When on vacation, you might be tempted to throw away a nutritious diet and indulge in food that may taste good but not so good for your health.
What if it's possible to have both taste and nutrition? In the Prospect Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn, you can have both at Nûrish restaurant on the corner of Washington Avenue and Bergen Street.
I needed some fuel after spending most of my morning at the Brooklyn Public Library perusing the Book of HOV exhibit. So, before continuing to the Africa Fashions exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, I looked for a place to eat.
I could have had a walking lunch with all the food trucks lining the streets around Grand Army Plaza, but I also wanted to have a sit-down diner-type experience. I found it at Nûrish. The restaurant has a menu on the wall, but I didn't want anything with added sugar or from concentrated juice. So I asked for more info and decided on the Sea Side, a delicious apple, lemon, and orange blend.
I chose the Spinach Fritatta for my main course. The chef warned me it would take 15 minutes to bake my eggs. I welcomed the wait. Sometimes, you want some home cooking even when you're on the road. The chef filled the frittata with cheese, spinach, and grape tomatoes. All laid out on a bed of spring greens mix. Just what my body and soul needed to get me through the rest of the day!
