Whole Foods (Visit this link)

Grocery plus. Besides a full selection of fresh and dried goods (organic and vegetarian choices abound), Whole Foods also boasts take-out stands which cannot be fully described by the moniker "salad bar." Hot and cold prepared foods, ethnic and traditional--from sushi to pizza-by-the-inch to soup. Eat here or take it home; it's all healthy and tasty.

Chinatown

Above the Financial District and encroaching on shrinking Little Italy and the Lower East Side is New York City’s expanding Chinatown--rapidly increasing in both size and population. Chinatown is a wonderful place to meander about. Everyone in your group will notice different things. On a recent visit with my family, my husband noticed that the streets bend, and the buildings bend with them. My older daughter noticed fish and dehydrated things in markets that she wanted to take home and examine under her microscope. And my little one marveled at lots of colorful kitsch: Hello Kitty and others. You can begin your exploration online here or on foot at the intersection of Mott and Canal.
