As much as at times I curse this wicked city I live in, NYC is indeed a mecca of wonderful restaurants and inventive eateries. And there is no beating the Big Apple when it comes to healthy food options.

One such option is just blocks from me and serves up the best and freshest fruit juices this side of Beirut. Yup, you read right. The former world capital of political instability (now seemingly tame when compared to the revolutions of the Arab Spring) is the one place on earth where I learned that a good fresh fruit juice can feel a lot like a walk among the clouds, in heaven.

Thankfully, Liquiteria is just around the corner and serves up such delicacies as Watermelon juice (now in season), Pear and Mixed Veggies, which tastes amazing with The Hot Shot (a combination of lemon, ginger and cayenne).

But don’t take my word for it. Drop by anytime between 7 a.m. (8 on weekends) and 8 p.m., seven days a week and try it out for yourself.

Liquiteria is located at 179 Second Avenue, on the corner of 11th Street, in the East Village in NYC.
