I’ve learned to save my ‘all out’ vegetarian restaurants for when I’m dining with like-minded friends, so when Adele and I decided to get dinner, it was an easy choice. Gobo, in the West Village, is on my list of must-try vegetarian restaurants. And completely by mistake, I found New York City’s healthiest meal. Kale, beets, walnuts, seaweed. None of these foods go particularly well together. There was no binding force, like an ingenious dressing. No, it was, “Hey, if you’re going to be incredibly virtuous, then take your beta carotene, perfect leafy greens, ultimate protein, and omega-3’s like a real woman. Straight up.” So I did. Then went around the corner to Yogurt-land to devise my own concoction. Let’s just say it wasn’t quite as nutritious as dinner.
The uber-healthy leftovers, though, were amazing the next morning with eggs and hot sauce. Wait, isn’t everything good with eggs and hot sauce? Even kale? and p.s. Gobo was pretty good, actually. Even the kale/beet extravaganza.

Hello!
When we created the kale, beet & seaweed salad our vision was a unique salad someone like you would understand. It’s Asian inspired, healthy, and you feel good about yourself afterwards. Glad you enjoyed your experience at Gobo. Also, come check us out on myspace.com/goborestaurant
