Blank Slate Gourmet Market

The popular Nomad café-restaurant from husband-and-wife team Ashley Jaffe and Zach Israel has expanded to a second location right down the block. And instead of returning to its sit-down roots, the pint-size market is purveying high-quality groceries like Pat LaFrieda meats, Black Seed bagels and Balthazar breads, along with specially prepared meals for takeaway. Try the healthy servings of cauliflower fried rice, Dijon chicken salad, brussels sprout slaw or a “detox salad” with quinoa and veggies. The new digs look similar to the other store; the market is sticking to the signature mint-green hue in the light fixtures and “blank slates” (a.k.a. chalkboards) delineating what’s on the menu.
