Highly recommended by my NYC coworkers, I had to try Springbone before leaving NYC. Unfortunately, when I arrived at this location, I could see three workers back in the kitchen, but rather than acknowledging me and letting me know they would be with me in a moment, they completely ignored me until several minutes later after they had finished whatever they were working on. While examining the menu, I discovered that the entire menu is gluten free (I feel this is pretty understated as their website only mentions it in small print), which was a really pleasant surprise. I had a hard time understanding what was dairy free, though, as it is not marked on the menu. I ordered the Grandma’s Rice & Chicken bowl after verifying that it was both gluten free and dairy free. Once I received my bowl, I went upstairs to eat and discovered that the water was completely empty. The location was not busy at all when I was there, so not sure what was going on. The dish itself was not my favorite… The lid on the container came away with about half of the sauce and the chicken was really dry. What I could taste of the sauces was pretty delicious, but there could have been more. If ever back in NYC, I probably wouldn’t revisit this location, but I would give a different Springbone another try as it is a reasonably priced, convenient, 100% gluten...
Read moreI am on auto immune protocol. I am not allowed to have black pepper or hot peppers, any peppers, period. One of the luxuries we are allowed to have is a healthy bone broth. I've read good reviews about this place and was so looking forward to it. I brought it home so I could enjoy it later. Packaging is horrible, it leaked all the way. What was left of $13.01 purchase, I've had it with so much anticipation... It burned my mouth and my stomach... I'm feeling itchy already... Clearly there is pepper in it and they do not care to disclose. They messed up my fourth week of elimination diet, created health problems for me. A health focused store should clearly label and disclose ingredients and whether they are Paleo, aip, ... Compliant... This is not the correct spirit for a health store... It is just another fast food Hain looking to make a buck surfing the...
Read moreGenius vegetarian & vegan delicacy option within walking distance of everything New York City. Less than a 10 minute walk from the south end of Central Park near the Plaza Hotel & Times Square. I ordered the Seasonal Veggie bowl (plus Tofu) & Shiitake Roots Broth. Was amazing. Generous portions with perfectly prepared ingredients. I ran next door & by the time I got back my food was ready. The cashier remembered me & told me where to pickup my food & utensils. They are very organized, professional & efficient here. A lot of seating available upstairs. Paid about the same/a little less for my meal than some consumers eating far less healthy nearby. Highly recommend for any general foodie or vegetarian in New York City! FIVE STARS STAY WINNING...
