Mindful Menus by Tim Yu
Mindful Menus is a new healthy guide to New York City take-out menus.
Any New Yorker will tell you that take-out and delivery is an integral part of city life and although convenient, it is all too often unhealthy. Taking the nutritional guesswork out of take-out food, two nutritionists modified take-out menus from 20 New York City restaurants in the Upper East and West Side neighborhoods with 10 to 15 selected items from each. The Menus are well designed, easy to read and provide suggestions on what items of a dish to avoid or substitute along with whole "Mindful Meals."
Available for $22 at Foodtrainers. Mindful Menus for Chelsea and Downtown are due out soon.

Trois Crepes Dark Chocolate Perles
Pearl-shaped and tiny, the Manhattan patisserie Trois Crepes' Dark Chocolate Pearls contain something like a buttery Rice Krispy in a coverture of bittersweet chocolate. A pleasing crunch and slight saltiness makes for a surprising experience, but the chocolate balances both the flavor and texture. The Perles are delicious sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt, but we also like pouring them directly into our mouth....
