Different Kind of Juicery

Great little juice bar that reminds me of something I've seen in New York and London. This isn't your typical processed, sugar-filled juice bar. They use completely raw and unfrozen ingredients and sweeten as necessary with honey. Sustain Juicery is just down the street from Cole's on 6th, next to Harlem Alley.

Organic Produce Wednesdays at HCR

The thing about living in an area that's regenerating and reinventing itself is that you end up appreciating and thinking differently about the little things that start happening around you. Every Wednesday from 5-8 p.m. (until someone decides to nix the concept), Handsome Coffee Roasters in the Arts District will host a fresh, local and organic popup by The Produce Project. Be sure to stop by for heirlooms on the vine and happy chicken eggs, and then grab some serious coffee on your way home.
