Cititour Review:
This is a great place to stop by the next time you’re visiting McCarren Park—its right on N. 12th by the dog run. The atmosphere is super relaxed, and it’s a combination café and one-stop grocery (though the groceries are pretty outrageously priced)!They’ve got a good selection of organic sandwiches, burritos, juices and smoothies, with plenty of vegan options. I really like the ‘Unclub’ sandwich, which is the vegan take on a club sandwich, but at $9, it is quite overpriced. If you can’t decide which sandwich to order, which range from $6-$9, you can create your own. The service is friendly but slow. On a busy day, you might wait a good 20 minutes for a simple sandwich to go. You can piddle around looking at some of the organic soaps, local chocolates (Mast Brothers from Brooklyn) and interesting woodworking throughout the shop while you wait. There is a small indoor seating area in the back, and a little patio during the warm seasons.
The owners are committed to knowing where their food comes from, and use only organic, sustainably produced products from local farmers. They harvested and milled the Adirondack wood to make the shelves, floors and countertops, and they buy their electricity from wind-powered sources. This place makes you feel like you’re doing something good for the environment while enjoying a good meal! Catering is available.
