Bright and breezy Miami-born cafe serving fresh, health-conscious bowls, smoothies, and vegan treats with a chill, beachy vibe.
"Pura Vida is an upscale fast-casual spot from Miami, opening its first New York location in Nomad. The restaurant emphasizes natural and local foods with a menu featuring vegetables, vegan and gluten-free items. It is known for its all-day options like salads, wraps, customizable bowls, smoothies, juices, and a variety of baked goods. The Nomad space includes a floral facade, blue umbrellas, wood pergolas, counter service, and ample indoor and outdoor seating." - Beth Landman
"This casual all-day cafe with multiple locations focuses on nutritious dishes ranging from organic acai bowls, juices, superfood smoothies, salads, wraps, and more. With health and well-being at the forefront of its philosophy, diners will find many gluten-free options across the menu." - Dara Smith, Alona Martinez
"Omer and Jennifer Horev’s restaurant is a healthy-food favorite, with diners coming in at all hours of the day looking for a wholesome meal. Walk away energized for another round of shopping after dining on an egg sandwich, a salmon mango bowl pesto or tuna wrap to pair with a superfood smoothie or a juice shot." - Juliana Accioly
"Order from an all-day menu of light but filling dishes like acai bowls, wraps, and cold-pressed juices from this Miami favorite. The mango salmon bowl is a must-order next to the crave-able egg sandwich, which is served on toasted sourdough topped with avocado, mustard aioli, and arugula. To drink, opt for the immune booster made with a mix of ginger, lemon, pineapple, orange, honey, cayenne, and a touch of garlic." - Eater Staff
"A bright and breezy all-day cafe with rattan furniture, whitewashed interiors, blond wood tables and an outdoor patio with turquoise tassled umbrellas giving shade to bistro tables. Started by husband-and-wife team Omer and Jennifer Horev, the brand has rapidly expanded with 12 locations throughout the city. This Design District outpost presents a supremely comfortable spot to do everything from grab a post-yoga smoothie to a coffee date with friends to a semi-casual business lunch. The menu draws inspiration from Omer’s Mediterranean roots and many of the dishes can be customized to cater to dietary needs with gluten-free and dairy-free options. Bowls can be made with cilantro rice, quinoa or mixed greens and get topped with free-range chicken, ahi tuna or salmon. And while it's not a vegan spot there's plenty for the plant-based crowd including avocado toasts and overnight oats, an array of acai bowls, and their signature vegan chocolate chip cookie." - Sara Liss, Jennifer M.
