So you've just assuaged your consumerist conscience by dropping off
bags of donated goods at Housing Works -- so where better to
continue your virtousness than brunching at Josies? The food is
better for you than numerous other UWS bruncheries, and there's a
buzz of contentment thanks to the smoothly-run establishment. The
food is fine. A basket of cinnamon-apple bread with apple-ginger
spread, and pancakes with strawberry butter and an eggs benedict
with portabella mushroom instead of Canadian bacon. Coffee and juice
and a tab which is reasonable -- and you're back outside, in the
sun, walking the neighborhood without that bloated,
I-shouldn't-have-eaten-that feeling. Consistency has its own
rewards. |
