Fuku Koreano sandwich: An off-menu item at David Chang's new fried chicken joint in the East Village, this sandwich is exactly the same as the regular fried chicken sandwich with the addition of pickled daikon radish. The pickled veggies are well worth the extra dollar (at $9), as they cut through the surprisingly fatty fried chicken. The chicken itself is very moist and mostly dark meat, and the seasoning of the breading is spot on. The sandwich comes with a side of Saä sauce, which tastes like a combination of s...

Good Belly cranberry watermelon probiotic juice drink: I was drawn to this product because I've never heard of a probiotic drink that was dairy-free. This company's selling point is the addition of probiotic cultures for \"renewing your digestive health.\" Whether this is effective I cannot say, but I can say that the juice is delicious, like the best fruit punch juice box you can remember having. The flavor is nostalgic (it contains only juice from concentrate, though it's all organic), but it still feels fresh and age appropriate. It's slightl... (read more) 4.0/5.0
