Restaurant of the Summer: Spring Street Natural, SoHo
Now that it looks like we’re solidly heading into fall weather, it’s time to name my favorite restaurant of the summer. Spring Street Natural isn’t necessarily the restaurant I ate at most frequently, but its healthy, light, sometimes vegan, seasonal food makes the perfect al fresco meal. Not to mention the reasonable prices and great people watching location on the corner of Lafayette and Spring. Here are a few snaps of what I’ve enjoyed.
Apple Carrot Celery Juice.
Vegetable Tofu Cashew Croquettes in carrot ginger dressing, mango slaw, and sauteed greens.
Mixed Berry Crisp with soy pomegranate ice cream. This is the best thing I’ve ever had here, and hands down the best ice cream/gelato/sorbet/icy treat I’ve ever had in my life.
Mango Lemonade.
Vegetable Spring Rolls with napa cabbage, carrots, seasonal mushrooms, fresh cilantro and ginger; served with sweet chili-plum sauce.
Breaded Tilapia Sandwich. This is the worst thing I’ve ever had here (way too bland), but as I’ve said before, SSN has the best ketchup in the city. So side of fries + ketchup= Happy Molly.
