Terrific Takeout: Cafe Grind
Who knew there was something so simple, so good, so clean and so close to the Javits Center? We only wish we found it sooner. Lately, Peachy Deegan has had to make a pilgrimage practically to the Hudson River for a ton of trade shows, and thankfully they are over! However, you know this is a girl that is looking for something nice to eat and anyone that walks the miles of a trade show that can add up to a number rivaling a marathon needs energy - which we found in its best form in Takeout from Cafe Grind. Of course she was wearing her Paul Mayers...
We opted for the Mediterranean salad which arrived as instructed without dressing (you know who always wants dressing on the side!). We love it when instructions are followed! A party of spinach, roasted beets (done just right not overdone too we might add), sweet orange and gorgonzola was a refreshing start. Eagle readers, notice the maroon and gold components here...
Fresh squeezed orange juice!!! You can't get that at the Javits. Also we love that Cafe Grind is a one-of-a-kind venue and NOT a chain.
All sandwiches are prepared with breads from Scratchbread Brooklyn and with the freshest seasonal produce: we'd highly recommend Tomato Mozzarella with Chicken that boasts an added kick of pesto and basil and is served piping hot-lovely for the chilly days that are still upon us.
A fruit salad, and energy is restored to go 10 more miles of tradeshow booths at the Javits! Oh if only its entire neighborhood was as clean as we found Cafe Grind...we have high hopes though.
Cafe Grind is Terrific Takeout!
