NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: MULBERRY & VINE
Mulberry & Vine is the restaurant many Tribecans have been waiting for. It sells prepared foods—salads, sandwiches, soups, and more—with an eye toward healthfulness. “A lot of people think you need to pile on the butter and oil to make food taste good, but you don’t,” says co-founder Genevieve Lynch. She hastens to add that such food can still be hearty: “We tested all the recipes on my husband.” Tour the space and read the menu.
