The Absolute Best Salad Spot in New York

Sweetgreen’s Harvest Bowl: warm, fresh, filling.照片:Liz Clayman

In considering the city’s best salad bars, we looked only at places where you could easily take away a salad at lunch, focusing on venues with plenty of options. That means big, corporate salad-buffet-style spots (Whole Foods), customizable-salad vendors (Just Salad), and small restaurants with particularly good salad options (Court Street Grocers). Here, the absolute best places for takeout salads in New York.

The绝对Best

1.Sweetgreen
多个地方ations

Sweetgreen在城市中蔓延如此迅速,以至于您想知道我们在午餐时吃了什么。在这个沙拉链中,几个小时前就找不到切碎的洋葱,也不会发现li行的胡萝卜片。That means, sometimes, you might have to wait for a prep cook to emerge from the back with a new pan of flavor-rich chicken, and you can watch your kale being shredded moments before it’s in your bowl, and roasted sweet potatoes will often still be warm from the oven. All those ingredients go in what might be our favorite salad, the Harvest Bowl, which is warm and made with organic wild rice, and thus hearty enough to get you through a workday without snacking, or perhaps serve as dinner. But the options are across-the-board fantastic. Plus, the staffers are quick and helpful, and the physical spaces attractive.

The sandwich kings also make pretty great salads, and predictably, they’re a lot like the sandwiches, but without the bread. Meaning: While they’re filling, they won’t leave you feeling sluggish, like you might after eating an entire CSG sandwich in 60 seconds, owing to a lack of self-control around foods that tasty. The ranch has a mix of heartily dressed greens — big pieces of kale, butter lettuce, little spicy pockets of arugula — which means there’s a nice mélange of flavor and texture. Adding to that: sweet potato! Bites of cheddar! Pickled red onion! (The closest sandwich relative is probably the Yam and Cheese.)

3.Tiny’s Giant
Rivington St. 129,位于诺福克街;212-228-4919

There are nine salads, give or take, on this little shop’s menu (available for taking out, eating in, and getting delivered via Caviar). A favorite is the Caesar, with a couple of fistfuls of flavorful grilled chicken atop romaine that’s coated in salty Parmesan crumbles and mixed with housemade croutons, served in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl with real silverware and plenty of creamy dressing.

4.Just Salad
Various locations

我们为什么喜欢它:只有沙拉出售可重复使用的碗,您将获得折扣;我们发现订购系统的疲惫不堪,而不是切碎的系统。这些成分通常很新鲜,在这里和那里减去一块略带枯萎的romaine。有一些有趣的选择,例如鸡肉 - 泰卡 - 马萨拉沙拉和最受欢迎的水牛鸡。另外,当我们chef Elise Kornack to build her ideal salad at this chain, she put the salad-makers to the test, asking them to add dressings in a particular order, forgo greens for grains, use a certain amount of each ingredient, etc., and the workers were totally game.

5。cipriani lespecialità
110 E. 42nd St.,Nr。公园大道;212-557-5088

令人惊讶的是负担得起;无缝;并且有很多选择,包括与其他地方不同的产品,例如带有甜菜,山羊奶酪和蘑菇的白色esparagus沙拉(5美元)。创建自己的沙拉起价为4美元,其中包括标准浇头(红洋葱,晒干的番茄),但还包括松果和茴香,例如松果和茴香。

Honorable Mentions

The City Bakery
3 W. 18th St., nr. Fifth Ave.; 212-366-1414

喜欢a fancier version of your standard grocery salad bar, condensed to only the good, mostly seasonal parts. You can create your own with fillings like pretty slices of Chioggia beets, and add dressings that aren’t typically available (like mustard oil). Or choose a composed salad, like a recent offering of bright-green kale with notably rich roasted chicken. It’s not cheap, at $18.99 a pound (at the nearby Chelsea Whole Foods, that price is $9.99), but it feels better tended to than many other city salad-buffet options.

Maple

如果不是令人难以置信的令人兴奋,它是可靠的。(除非它替换了cookie饼干的海报.) That’s good for a desk lunch sometimes! The salad options change often, and come undressed with an oval container of dressing, so nothing’s soggy. A chicken-heavy number with fine ribbons of kale has guacamole and a mustardy, vinegary dressing. Another — with delightfully herby, well-cooked bites of steak — has plenty of cheese, hazelnuts (useful for texture here), and more kale. Were it up to us, we’d increase the dressing portion, but we’re fiends for the fat stuff.

微笑去
22 Nr。霍华德街。克罗斯比街;646-863-3893

很难忽略深色巧克力和盐盐曲奇饼在这家小型外卖店中,但尝试至少要注意在锅中放置在陈列柜中的流行,季节性和美味的沙拉,在您最酷的朋友家中的小晚宴上看起来更合适。大多数沙拉都作为“市场面”提供,因此获得一个装有三种选择的外卖容器,以使人感到满足。站在带有臀部手指纹身的女孩之间,在开幕式开幕式袋中,从日常改变的菜单中进行选择 - 季节性循环通过大约40个选择。您可能会遇到一个纯素食,无麸质的冰淇淋,上面有枫灰味和榛子,或一个带有宝石小味和紫色的土豆。

Whole Foods
多个地方ations

Our favorite, freshest-seeming large-buffet build-your-own salad in New York. That’s owing to the fact that Whole Foods is always crowded, so turnover of the pans of sliced onions, bright-green lettuces, crunchy string beans, and crumbled Parmesan is high. The array of dressings ranges from a rich, thick avocado-flavored one to a simple balsamic vinaigrette.

“Wichcraft
多个地方ations

Tom Colicchio’s casual chain has a number of great salad and greens-and-grains bowl options. The Avocado and Greens is terrific: It has radish, arugula, plenty of sliced avocado, delicious sun-dried tomatoes, and tangy tahini dressing. On one instance, we ordered delivery, and it took far above the estimated amount of time to arrive, but Seamless mistakes happen to everyone.
