Don’t we all need a bit of clean eating this week? Try the rice bowl at SnackWorks. It’s filled with black beans and rice, spinach, fresh-steamed broccoli, tomato and chopped onion; you can even top it with a hot protein (love their chopped chicken), but the ingredient that pulls this bowl together and tips it over the top for my lunch choice is the Snackworks “salsa.” It’s a cilantro-derived sauce that’s addictively herbaceous in all the right ways with just a hit of vinegar.
There are excellent panini too (the house version is chicken pesto jack) and made to order smoothies (try the Green Go), wraps and flatbreads and nearly any pantry item you might need. This Main St bodega/market is a fixture of the West End District and perfectly unique for their fresh-made, counter service lunch that’s crazy affordable. There’s a good bit of seating inside now too. Go and be satisfied!
