Cafe Clover: A Review

This past weekend I had the pleasure to celebrate my roommates birthday with her. We started the night as a restaurant that I thought would be a great start to getting back into the blogosphere. As you might have guessed, the restaurant is called Café Clover.

My roommate is friends with one of the co-owners of restaurant, so while sitting at dinner I was able to pick his brain. This is his first time in the restaurant game. He started his career in fitness and came up with the idea for Café Clover while talking to a friend. The two agreed that there weren't many restaurants in NYC that were healthy, not the extent of veganism, that had atmospheres that would still be great for a date night. Being in fitness he had a pretty good background on the healthy foods that people would be looking for. The menu seems perfect for someone on the paleo diet and the best thing about it is that all the food is locally sourced.
Now, what did I order? For the table we ordered the following appetizers:

  • Fall Salad
  • Roasted Baby Carrots (very good)
  • Loaded Sweet Potato 
  • Octopus A La Plancha (Yum!)
  • Murray's Burrata (Another one please)
I didn't get a chance to try the Fall Salad or the Loaded Sweet Potato but every plate was empty as the waiters cleared the table for the main course, which leads me to believe that it was all very good. For my main course I ordered the Cauliflower Steak. After all of the appetizers I didn't think I would be able to eat a protein. When my dish came out I was confronted by a quarter of a head of cauliflower browned on both of the flat sides along with a kale salad. The meal was filling, pleasing to the eye and surprisingly satisfying for a plateful of veggies. If you are and your sweetheart are healthy food enthusiasts or even are just looking for a new place to give a try I'd check out Café Clover for your next date night.

Post Workout Habits

While working out is always on trend, lately what you do before and after your workout has become even more popular.

Why is Charcoal in Everything?

It’s in your toothpaste, your facemask, even in your soap! What is the big deal about Charcoal? Back in 2015 was when we first started hearing about the powers of charcoal. Since then it has spread from beauty products to our household items to our food. Everywhere we look there seems to be a hue of grey. If you’re like me, you might have gotten caught up in the trend without intending to and now somehow you have been partaking in some benefits that you have no idea what they are. I’m here to inform you how charcoal can help you in the many different forms of products we see it in today. We’ll start at the very beginning, the birth of the charcoal trend, the toothpaste. It was hard to go on social media without seeing someone with seriously black teeth that somehow turned their teeth whiter. How does it work? According to Trust Dental Care these toothpastes are made from a form of charcoal called Activated Charcoal. Activated Charcoal has natural adhesive qualities...

Killer Barry

Ignore the unhappy look on my face, it's just because I couldn't breathe. Barry's Bootcamp is about as hard as it gets. I workout on a daily basis and this place kicked my butt. I have taken their arms and abs as well as their butt and legs class. I left both of these classes with my shirt see through I was sweating so much. They assign you a treadmill or floor space and you either start you off on the floor or the treadmill. I liked starting on the treadmill better because it's a good warm up and when you are done you end on the floor which is better for stretching. You don't get to necessarily choose though. They do two rounds. You are on the treadmill twice and on the floor twice doing multiple exercises on the floor. I wasn't necessarily sore the next day but I was exhausted at the end. If you want to be tired and sweaty, then go to Barry's.
