Healthy takeout on the UES

[cjd260]

It looks like I'm not ever going to get off work in time to make dinner, and I'm afraid that if I eat pizza, thai etc. every night and a sandwich every day I'll end up overweight and with a heart condition. So, do people have any ideas for something decently healthy I can grab for dinner at night in my neighborhood (78/York)? Sushi is obvious, although I'm always open to suggestions for good sushi places I haven't tried; salads are a bit drab after a while, although again if there's anything especially interesting in the area (and that's open for dinner) I'd be delighted to try; but in general, I'm looking for ideas. Thanks to all!

I second Gobo, especially the all in one meals they have for 9 or 10 bucks with brown rice, some veg, some tofu, etc. Delicious, too.
Pita Grill is always reliable.
Also I remember seeing a new health-take out place pop up on First or York in the high 70's/low 80'... maybe it's Good Health? Not sure but htey are pretty new and just sent out menus in the neighborhood.

La Boulangerie on 3rd and 79th has excellent salads that you can take out. I would also try Agata & Valentin on 79th and 1st. They have great take out salads and soups. I live very close on York and 76th.

Good idea on Agata and Valentina, they have a lot of packaged food for takeout that is healthy. Bean salads, chicken, veggie pizza, etc.

Good Health on 1st between 74th and 75th has a nice selection - salads, sandwiches, various veggie burgers, and both vegetarian and meat entrees. I have tried a number of different things and have never been disappointed.

I like taking out from Recharge Grill which is on 2nd Avenue between 75th and 76th.

It's very simple...when they say chicken, spinach and low fat mozzarella in a pita, that's what it is. Very straightforward.

I like the "air" fries, which are baked. They are soggy, but I like my fries that way.

They have a nice variety of smoothies.

The turkey burgers are good too.
