goodyoga: The Brooklyn Yoga Ashram
We've been hearing good things about about goodyoga for a while now. The Greenpoint yoga studio is all about being more than a yoga studio. Add in accommodations, workspace, resident pets, a communal kitchen, a wellness center, and a mission to build an inclusive community that "welcomes every new member and provides support and encouragement during every stage of our practice," and you start to get the picture. Think ashram, but Brooklyn-loft-style. I still haven't made it out for a visit, but our friends over at it's all yoga, baby spent Labor Day weekend there, and official report? Very good.

Top Juice Joint
Our very favorite place to cool off this summer is the Liquiteria, local health food joint on 11th Street and 2nd Avenue. It’s an amazing, breezy clean oasis that offers the most awesome fresh-squeezed juices. We typically go for either the famous cure-all, “Killer,” made from green apples, lemon and immuno booster; OR, the all-green juice of kale, spinach, celery, parsley and cucumber. While you're there, you can also buy fresh coconuts, sandwiches, raw food bars, soup, and eighty-dollar bags of bourgeois nut mix.
Pardon us for being so un-snarky, but we find it hard to be critical about the place. Next time you’re trolling the East Village during daylight hours, stop by and grab a Berry Powerful smoothie. Chances are you’ll run into a celebrity eating a tofu pop by the juice bar.
