Dr Smood debuted yesterday on Houston at Orchard, in part of the former American Apparel space.
Here's their description, via Facebook:
Dr Smood is an organic boutique cafe offering a carefully crafted menu of performance food for mind, body, and soul. We work closely with our partners to produce the highest quality products from sustainable sources, pure water, and nutrient-rich soil.
They are also billing themselves as...
This is the fifth Dr Smood location in NYC. (The company started in Miami.)
And this Well + Good article has more about the owners. Such as: "The idea came to Danish business developer Rene Sindlev and his wife, Patrizia Manici Sindlev, when they were living in Denmark and feeling frustrated by the lack of healthy, grab-and-go restaurants."

Oh save us from this. Just give me a cheese burger with bacon (well done) at the Cosi Soup and Burger at Broadway and Astor Place. And while I am ordering, if they have a 20 (or so) layer cake, I'll take a slice. I wish anyone well who is opening a small business and particularly one that deals with food. I just can't take the preciousness of the facebook statements. Glad to see in the NY Times today a review of Prune (is it 18 years on First Street?). I can remember the gripping of people when it first opened. It was destroying the neighborhood by appealing to people from outside the EV confines.
They need to sell a Sustainable Soil Sandwich.
Ugh...another "we have very overpriced healthy food" shop. Will the food be beige?
When did this neighborhood become part of San Fransisco? I've been to Denmark several times and I like the food I wish they had opened a cafe that one can only find in their home country, I can get an avocado sandwich ANYWHERE.
A "Sustainable soil sandwich" LOL! Sorry but a lot of organic food will make you sick if it is not grown, washesd and prepared properly. This is why Chipotle has had so many problems with e-coli and food poisoning, all that organic food sitting out at room temperature and served luke warm, in addition to Norovirus from employees not washing their hands. Plus, what does Denmark have to do with New York? We have plenty of healthy options, plus we just lost Angelika Kitchen and a bunch of other healthy food shops due to the high rent and competition. And what the hell is the $10 "Organic Infused Water?" They sell an "organic Hangover Kit" for $20. They also sell :Organic Beauty Water." What? Muffins are $7. Juice is $11. A "power sandwich" is $11. Lets face it, this is for those eco-tourists staying at those LES hotels where everyone is having sex in the windows. You probably wouldn't want to watch those people procreating if all they ate was McDonalds.
@11:43am: I don't want to watch ANYONE procreating, thanks.
I went yesterday. Yes, it's pricy, but look at the location. The shake I had was healthy and delicious. Try it before you bash it.
