Openings: 100% Healthy Blend; plus Ess-A-Bagel and more



100% Healthy Blend (or maybe just Healthy Blend) opened on Saturday in the former Dahlia's space at Second Avenue and Fifth Street.

The quick-serve restaurant features create-your-own salads ... as well as juices, smoothies, empanadas, arepas and more...As we understand it, the owners of Dahlia's are also behind this no-booze venture.

The SLA temporarily suspended Dahlia's liquor license after serving a reported 50 minors one night in January. The Mexican restaurant then closed in May.

-----

There have been several food openings of late ... including (to recap) Ess-A-Bagel ... Guac NYC and Agios Greek Rotisserie ... In addition, Raclette is now open in its larger space on East 12th Street, the former home of Northern Spy.

  1. I'm confused. Is it 100% or a blend? Or 100% Healthy and the name of the shop is Blend? Will they serve minors? We need clarification on these matters.

  2. What an ugly, cheap looking sign. They couldn't put up a neon sign?

  3. It's almost as bad as that TakeMeHome sign with the crotch-flashing chicken. I won't even ask why'd you want to blend a small pumpkin. Is that a new 'bowl'? Gojira?

  5. Oh shut up about the sign. Any sign that isn't a generic, lit up streamlined mall sign is good. This is a unique, classic East Village sign. You animals!

  6. Eh, NOTORIOUS, I got nothin'. Was trying to come up with a pun about a crusty-themed health treat called Punk-in Bowl, or something to do with Al Gourd, but just couldn't quite get there. Sorry to disappoint = anyone else?
