Something about travel always makes we want to tow the line with the food.  Just to avoid upset tummies and I knew I was going to be heading to the Jivamukti Studio later.  So ended up with a nicely sized Kale Salad.  And below, the "Grain of the Day" with a sundried tomato tapenade.  Gluten Free Polenta.  Loved the salad and the polenta & tapenade combination was really comfort food.  It was healthy (not greasy or heavy) and earthy with subtle flavors.  Really nice for a chilly day.  The funny thing about ordering the "Grain of the Day" is that the waitress (who was a doll and reminded me of one of my favorite Persian friends) wrote on the tab "GOD".

Sacred Chow on Urbanspoon

It's a quaint spot.  It's not full of pretentious nuevo foods, but just simple yet wholesome plant based goodness.  A nice refuge from the hustle and bustle of the Village.  Our food came quickly, yet we didn't feel rushed at all.  I personally can't stand it when they keep coming to clear your plates when you aren't finished eating.  This is a place you can linger with dim lighting.

  2. Wow, they really brightened the place up! It used to be really heavily draped and dark...I used to work right across the street but I've only been in maybe once. I keep meaning to go back, and especially now that you've posted the menu. So glad you enjoyed everything!
