FULL CIRCLE MOMENT | WALTON GOGGINS

This time of year is an exciting one as we begin to close one and look ahead to the next one. While we maintain our normal schedules, we also infuse it with the Holiday season - it’s great to share with friends and family, exchange gifts, increase celebratory moments, and so much more! We all know that they are key dates coming up that are focused on the exchange of gifts as well as obtaining them at various points. We took a moment to chat with Walton Goggins (Preadators, The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained) to find out about why he partnered with Walmart for the holiday season, what he loves about this time of year, and upcoming projects that he is involved in!

ATHLEISURE MAG: Obviously, we're going to talk about your amazing partnership with Walmart and what's going on with that. But we have a few questions to ask you because our readers are so excited that we're able to chat with you.

WALTON GOGGINS: Okay, okay, alright, fantastic!

AM: We've been a fan of yours since - you have too many things to name - Justified, Righteous Gemstones, George and Tammy, and the list can go on in film as well as in TV. We find you to be such an amazing actor who plays immersive and diverse characters. When did you realize that you wanted to be an actor?

WG: What a great question! I don't think that there was like a bolt of lightning that happened. I think it happened over the course of a very long period of time. I was raised mostly by women and a lot of interesting characters were around in my childhood and all of them just happened to be really interesting great storytellers.

AM: Right.

WG: So I'm listening to a lot of stories and then once I was given the microphone to start telling my own stories, you know, I had a natural kind of built in audience that just kept saying, “no, keep talking Walt."

So, you kind of have that encouragement, you know, right out of the gate. It's hard to kind of do anything else. I genuinely just wanted to see the world. That was the main thing. Then it just - one life kind of dovetailed into the other and the opportunity to see the world, and to be able to be a storyteller was just something that fit. You know, how do any of us really go about things? What are the decisions that any of us make that lead us on the road that we're going to be on for the rest of our lives? You know, is it fate or is it an accident?

AM: Mmm.

WG: What is it? That I don't know. But I'm so grateful for my life and grateful for the opportunities that I've had to tell the stories that I have!

AM: Absolutely!

WG: Including Walmart Black Friday Deals!

AM: Exactly! Without a doubt!

Why did you want to be connected to this amazing project and tell us more about it.

WG: Well, first and foremost, Walmart is a part of American culture. It’s not the whole culture, but it's certainly part of American culture. It is a corporation that has been in all of our lives for such a very long time! And where I come from on Fairburn Road, a lot of my friends as we got older, we started to work there and I had the good fortune - I'll tell you a little bit about my history with this company.

AM: Please.

WG: I was a poor kid from the South and I made really good grades and I had the opportunity to go to school. But we didn't have a lot of money and we had to pay the rent. I got a small Scholastic Scholarship, you know. But in addition to that, there was a gap of funding that we just couldn't make that square around that square if you will and my mom, you know through our friends or whatever, heard that Walmart, had a grant.

AM: Oh wow.

WG: It was a sizeable amount of money and when I went you know in 1988 or 1989. I’m dating myself, don’t tell anybody!

AM: Ha! That's okay!

WG: My mom encouraged me to write this essay, you know, to the Walmart. That's how it works and that’s what I did - and I won!

AM: Wow.

WG: The money that I, I desperately needed, you know, my first year in college and in addition to that incredible opportunity, this company gave me - they also printed an 8x10 picture of me. I don't know what it was. I think it was a headshot. It was my first headshot, I think that's what it was. They put it up in their store, you know, for the better part of 6 months. People would call me because you know we didn’t have cell phones then, but they would leave these stupid messages on my answering machine, “saw your picture in Walmart, Walton. Are you part of the Walton family?"

So anyway, that's kind of my history with this company. This opportunity kind of came along and they sent this script and I thought, “wow, what a what an interesting way to sell things, right?” You know, it's a hybrid between entertainment and doing what we're gonna do anyway, which is to find things for our loved ones at the holidays. Black Friday deals have been around for a long time. They played an important role in my family's ability to buy things for Christmas and it does for a lot of people in this country and all over the world and I thought, what a cool thing to be a part of. I'm so happy that I did it. There's all these wonderful actors that I work with like Ian Somerhalder. There are others like Lisa Rinna, Taye Diggs who I've known for a while, Anthony Ramos and it’s great folks and it's 10 stories. These stories are vignettes if you will. There’s a supernatural genre, action genre, mine is a Western genre!

AM: Shocker!

WG: But you know what? I've done action!

AM: Of course!

WG: I have done a lot of genres in my time, but this is one that they saw me in and invited me to kind of come along this journey. We had such a great time filming it. You know, it was just so much fun and they’re such a great company to work for and work with. So, when I think people will watch them and they'll see the things that they want to buy and some things featured in a way that makes them laugh. It brings a smile to their face and so it’s a great way to go about it!

AM: Well, do you know when your episode will drop, do they all drop at one time? Like what's kind of the flow?

WG: Well you know, there are ten. I’m not exactly sure when they all drop. I know mine will drop towards the end of November which is, which is kind of very, very exciting because it's getting close to Dec. I think more will be revealed as it goes on. The first one drops on Nov. 11th-17th. I think that’s the first block and they're kind of rolled out from there.

AM: Wow it’ll be great to see them!

What do you love about the holiday season?

WG: I just love the opportunity to commune with family and friends. You know, we all have our rituals right? We all have the things that we do but the thing that I do that I've been given the opportunity to do is I don't really watch a lot of sports. I’m not that guy even though I played a bunch of sports growing up.

I make a fire and I sit around that fire with my family and with my friends and I have a glass of wine and I listen to music. And I just commune. What better thing is there than that and to tell people that mean something to you how much you love them?

AM: That's really nice and very sweet!

You're always working on so many projects. I can't wait till White Lotus comes out and I know that you have a bunch of other stuff as well. Is there anything that you would like to share with us, that you're working on that we can keep an eye out for?

WG: Well, you know, I think you said it, you know, I got a bunch of things that are coming out. I have a few movies that are coming out. My wife has a movie that she wrote and directed called The Uninvited, which is dropping pretty soon.

Then there is The White Lotus and we just finished the new season of The Righteous Gemstones!

AM: So excited for both of those shows! I'm really excited for The Righteous Gemstones.

WG: So good. It's so good.

AM: Everytime I watch that show, I grew up in the Midwest with an Evangelical and Pentecostal background and there's just so many things that happen on that show and my boyfriend will ask, “Is that real?” and I'm like, “yes!”

WG: Oh yeah! That’s real and that one is real too!

We're going back to Fallout here pretty soon. And then, kind of beyond that, reading and waiting and seeing what the future brings everybody else! But right now, Walmart!

We enjoyed sitting down with Walton to talk about his career and the Christmas campaign that he is involved in. You can check out his videos for this campaign Something's Cooking and Can't Handle the Heat as well as an array of celebs that participated in Deals of Desire.

HER RING OF TRUTH | SARAYA

As avid readers know, that have enjoyed reading our issues have included a number of wrestlers who performed in the WWE in their career. Saraya, who was known as Paige when she was with the WWE was one of our favorites that we enjoyed seeing in the ring as well as seeing her on E! Total Divas where we got to know more about her between each ring experience as well as how she connected with her fellow Superstars.

Even after leaving the WWE, Saraya continues to embrace her passion for wrestling as it is a family business. We wanted to know more about how she came into the industry, what it's like when she is going into the ring and out of it, currently wrestling with AEW, and upcoming projects that she is involved in!

ATHLEISURE MAG: It's amazing that your family runs the World Association of Wrestling promotion, your mom owns and operates the Bellatrix Female Warriors, and your brothers wrestle as well. What led to you eventually participating in the sport as originally it wasn't something that you, thought that you would do.

SARAYA: I’ve been surrounded by wrestling my whole life. I’ve often made the joke that I have been wrestling since I was a fetus. My mum was pregnant with me and didn’t realize and was having matches with me all snuggled up in her womb haha. I’ve always loved it, but I was stubborn and tried to fight it since my whole family was in it. I tried to rebel into a different field instead. But one day my dad was one woman short in a match, she had not turned up, so he asked if I could fill in and I already knew a few moves since I grew up in the business. I said to my dad “Yes, but my brother has to wrestle in the match too so I’m comfortable.” So my brother dressed in a pink Power Ranger outfit. He threw on a padded bra, I did the match and the rest is history!

AM: We know that you come from a wrestling family, but when did you fall in love with wrestling?

S: When I was 13. Once I had that match, I knew there was nothing that would make me feel the way the adrenaline of wrestling made me feel.

AM: When did you realize that you wanted to do it as a career?

S: Also when I was 13. My dreams of becoming a vet or a zoologist quickly left my brain after that first match. (Thanks dad).

AM: I remember when I saw you on the E! show Total Divas where we got to follow you along with other WWE Superstars to see about your life in the ring and outside of it! What did it mean to you to be part of the WWE and to share your life on the E! show as well?

S: WWE was always my dream. I always, from the very beginning, wanted to be a WWE Diva. They were so beautiful yet so bloody badass!! That was so inspiring for a little girl like me.

I never thought I would get in, though. I looked very different to the women back then but that didn’t mean I was gonna give up trying. When I finally got signed my life changed forever. I remember Triple H coming up to me on the side of the stage and saying “welcome aboard” and shook my hand. Then a hell of a rollercoaster ride started.

I loved being asked to be a part of Total Divas. I was younger and a little more wild so it was good TV and the producers always make sure you have a drink in your hand haha, but I had a lot of fun with the girls and got to bond extra with them because not only were we on the road every week of the year but during our days off we would be filming together. It made for great lifelong relationships and memories!

AM: While at the WWE you had a number of accomplishments from being the youngest female champion in WWE history, a 2X WWE Divas Champion, and the inaugural NXT Women's Champion as well as being the only woman to hold both a WWE and NXT Women's Championship simultaneously. When you look back at your time there, what are you most proud of?

S: All of that!! Haha those would be my most proud moments. I would say my merch numbers too. I got my first merch tee, which said “Think Again” on it and it sold out quickly. I believe that gave me leverage to get on the main roster because they were like… “Hang on this girl that isn’t on Raw or Smackdown is selling numbers like that??”

I’m always proud that I remained myself. The weird little pale emo kid, that helped me big time with the fans I believe.

AM: You currently wrestle for AEW and you were the AEW Women's World Champion! How has your time at the AEW been and what does it mean to have acquired a title there too?

S: Being at AEW has been a lot of fun. I love love love the women’s locker room. They’re all so supportive of one another and everyone gets along so well. Being in another larger company at first was hard. Even though my contract had come to an end, I had some guilt like I betrayed WWE, but I didn’t do anything wrong! Haha. Then being out of wrestling for so long made it difficult to adjust to the newer fan base. They can get pretty toxic these days and I remember thinking, “Did I make a mistake coming back?” But AEW has treated me so wonderfully and I’ve loved my time here so far. And to win the Woman’s Championship on top of all that?? Incredible. I never thought I would wrestle again so I cried when Tony Khan told me haha.

AM: What are some upcoming matches that you can share with us that we can keep an eye out for?

S: I’ve actually been taking a short break the end of this year. Just for other projects and to take care of my mental health a bit. I never give myself time off, so it was much needed. But I will say to look out for someone else and that’s Harley Cameron! She’s the full package and an all-around amazing person!!

AM: We know that as a wrestler, you spend a lot of time on the road. What is an average week like for you in terms of travel, training, resting your body etc.?

S: WWE days were more hectic with live events. But these days with AEW, for me personally, they have given me a more relaxed schedule. Which I appreciate. I fly Tuesdays, work Wednesday and fly home Thursdays and will have the odd PPV at the weekend. I try to eat as good as possible and I should be in the gym more than I am if I’m being honest haha.

AM: Before you go into the ring, do you have any routines that you do to prepare for your fight and are there things that you do when you come out of it?

S: I pee lol and go into a corner and relax for a second. I get very, very nervous beforehand and need that time alone. When I come back out from the match, I hug whoever I wrestled and thank them, shake my producer and Tony Khan’s hand and then go to the locker room and just sit for a second.

AM: Outside of the ring, you're a board member for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Why is this so important to you?

S: It’s important because abuse is not just physical. It’s financial, mental, and verbal too. If I can use my platform to save someone’s life, I will absolutely do so.

Domestic Violence is extremely common and being part of something like that and also knowing so many women and men who’ve gone through something like that is heartbreaking. I’ll always use my platform for good.

AM: You shared your story in Fighting with My Family and you have a memoir that is coming out, Hell In Boots: Clawing My Way Through Nine Lives. Why did you want to share your story and what does the memoir cover that we may not know about from the film?

S: Well my movie was the PG version haha. I want people to know exactly what I’ve been through since birth to now and hopefully be inspired. It’s not for the faint of heart though.

THE ART OF THE SNACK | MOON RABBIT

In this month's The Art of the Snack, we head down to our nation's capital in Washington, DC to Moon Rabbit which is known for their fine dining Vietnamese cuisine. We took some time to chat with Chef Kevin Tien to find out about his culinary background, the accolades that he has received as a noted chef, and what we can expect upon our next visit at this restaurant whether we're stopping in for lunch or for dinner. In addition, we wanted to know more about the ambiance of the space as well. Finally, we also look ahead as we're a the beginning of the holiday season to see how we can begin planning to close this year.

ATHLEISURE MAG: Chef Kevin Tien, can you tell us about your culinary background, where you trained, kitchens you worked in and what brought you to Moon Rabbit.

CHEF KEVIN TIEN: My culinary background started when I was a child. My mother worked in Vietnamese Cafes and would bring me to work with her as a child. I wasn't allowed in the dining room, but the chefs took a liking to me and taught me in the kitchen about food. I continued to work in restaurants in college while earning my bachelors degree and graduate degree. I eventually moved to DC to work for amazing chefs such as José Andrés and Aaron Silverman.

AM: You have received a number of accolades that have included a 4X James Beard Foundation SemiFinalist, 2024 JBF Finalist, Food & Wine BNC 2018, Esquire Best New Restaurant 2021, and 2024 New York Times 50 Best Restaurants in America. What does it mean to you to be recognized for your work and craft in this industry?

CHEF KT: As a young chef, I really began the industry as a way to make ends meet. Over time I found a love for it and dedicated all of my time and really immersed myself into food. For a long time I would always want to be like other chefs, but receiving all of these awards and recognition proved to me that there was a space for my type of cuisine that blended my Vietnamese background with Louisiana roots.

AM: What is the meaning behind the name, Moon Rabbit?

CHEF KT: Moon Rabbit refers to a Vietnamese folklore about a Rabbit who sacrificed itself to feed others earning itself a spot on the Moon with the Gods.

AM: What can you tell us about the ambiance of Moon Rabbit and what diners can expect when they come in for their next meal?

CHEF KT: Moon Rabbit offers a fun relaxing atmosphere in a bright contemporary space. You should feel like you are dining in my home and expect big, bold, and familiar flavors. But presenting in unfamiliar ways.

AM: What are the spices and flavors that are indicative of Vietnamese food?

CHEF KT: Vietnamese food has all of the flavor profiles in its dishes. It will always have a balance of sweet, salty, spicy, umami, and acid. I love the use of pepper, star anise, cloves, and cinnamon. Lots of ginger and garlic as well.

AM: Can you tell us your modern approach to making traditional Asian cuisine?

CHEF KT: I have to be careful when using a modern approach because I don't want to end up making something where it would just be considered fusion cuisine. It can happen so easily. We focus on depth of flavors a lot by fermentation, making our own misos, and various cooking techniques to add a lot of flavor into what can be a simple bite.

AM: I like the layout of your menu. For lunch, From the Earth can you tell us about 3 dishes that you suggest that we should enjoy with friends and family?

CHEF KT: Banh Beo, Cai Lan, and Banh Tam Bi Chay. They have such a different flavor profile on each dish, that you get a great taste of what we have to offer.

AM: What are 3 dishes From the Land that you suggest that we should think about?

CHEF KT: Bo La Lot, Nem Nuong, and Bo Luc Lac. These are my favorite dishes to order when dining out at a Vietnamese restaurant.

AM: From the Sea what are 3 that you suggest that we should have in mind?

CHEF KT: Goi Cuon Ca Ngu, Tom Nuong, Ca Kho. They are such great riffs on the traditional dishes.

AM: Can you tell us about the 3 dishes from The Endings for us to end our meal?

CHEF KT: Chef Susan is such a talent that we have here at Moon Rabbit. The three desserts do a great job of showcasing her techniques through my absolute favorite items to get at an Asian pastry shop. Layered soft sponge cake using pandan and tropical fruit, takes on traditional egg tarts from dim sum but with flavors of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and a fun cream puff that tastes like an Asian banana cream pie.

AM: For dinner, you have the same breakouts that exist in the lunch menu. Are there offerings that are unique to the dinner menu that you can suggest?

CHEF KT: Yes! My favorite items from each section are Goi Cuon (Summer Roll), Canh Chua (Roasted Golden Tile), Chim Cut Chien (Fried Quail and Tomato Rice).

AM: Tell us about Chef's Visit to Vietnam!

CHEF KT: The Chef’s Visit to Vietnam is the best way to enjoy Moon Rabbit. You come in, let us know if you have any dietary restrictions, and we will curate your whole dinner for you. You will get snacks that are rotated often that are off menu, and I will pick some of my favorite items that I am loving at the moment to send throughout dinner. You’ll finish with Chef Susan’s favorite desserts and some extra sweet bites at the end.

AM: What are 3 dessert items that are unique to the dinner menu that we should know about?

CHEF KT: Our Dau Hu (Tofu Cheesecake with Nardello Pepper Jam), Sau Rieng (Durian Mouse with White Chocolate), Rong Bien (Pandan Panna Cotta with Confit Seaweed).

AM: Can you tell us about your cocktails as you have a number of categories that sound like a great journey to sip through.

CHEF KT: The cocktail program is curated by our beverage director Thi Nguyen. We focus on procuring Asian Spirits to build our program, and adding a lot of savory notes throughout.

AM: For those that are interested in beer, wine, or cider, what do you suggest?

CHEF KT: Personally I really like our wine program, because of a great balance between classic and modern/natural styles of wine. I like them both equally, but find myself leaning towards the natural wines on our menu.

AM: Can you tell us about the Thanksgiving Take Home Box which was only available for the holiday?

CHEF KT: We love doing holiday boxes at the restaurant. It's what I would make at home for my family for the holidays. So essentially, you’ll eat like the chef! This Thanksgiving we did an andouille stuffed turkey breast, pho gravy, miso mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie with curried candied cashews, coconut milk creamed spinach, and lots more!

AM: Will there be other boxes for Christmas, NYE, etc?

CHEF KT: We are definitely doing a box for Christmas and are leaning towards a Sichuan Cumin Rubbed Prime Rib.

AM: Will you have a NYE event or other winter holidays that we should know about?

CHEF KT: I think NYE would be the best night for joining Moon Rabbit. We are offering a tasting menu starting at $95 with plenty of add ons for how fancy you want to get. Lots of caviar and bubbles of course.

AM: For those that are interested in private dining, what options exist for those that are looking to book for their own party/events?

CHEF KT: We love doing parties and private events! We make each event unique by doing a custom menu and experience for each guest. No 2 private events are ever the same. You can do our private dining room that seats up to 42 people, or even book the whole restaurant for up to 130 people. And for those that want a extra space, our rooftop has a great view of DC with private bar.

EMILIA PÉREZ

Netflix Original

Netflix

In Emilia Pérez, we follow 4 amazing women in Mexico that are on the path to finding what makes them happy. Throughout this movie, you'll enjoy songs, dancing, and vibrant visuals. We meet Emilia (Karla Sofía Gascón) who is a cartel leader and brings on Rita (Zoe Saldaña) who is a lawyer that feels that she is unappreciated as she is stuck in a job that is going nowhere. She is asked to work with her to fake her own death so that the cartel leader can finally lead a life where she can be her true self. In addition, the cast also includes Selena Gomez (Selena + Restaurant, LOUDER: The Soundtrack of Change, Only Murders in the Building), and Edgar Ramirez (The 355, MaXXXine, Borderlands).

CRUEL INTENTIONS

Prime Video Original Series

Prime Video

Growing up, many of us enjoyed seeing the original Cruel Intentions film that starred Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Clerks III, Dexter: Original Sin), Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde, The Morning Show, Big Little Lies), Ryan Phillippe (Crash, Shooter, Big Sky), and Selma Blair (The Sweetest Thing, Hellboy franchise, American Crime Story: Monica Lewinsky) which focused on elite highschoolers in NYC in a modern retelling of the 1872 novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Throughout this movie, we see how a pair of step siblings create havoc through their circle and social scene by manipulating others, having sex, and their use of drugs.

With the cult success of this movie, it's not a surprise that it has come back with the same focus in an updated way on Prime Video. This iteration of Cruel Intentions takes us to another elite social scene in college with a number of the antics and scenarios that appeared in the film.

Do you need to see the film in order to enjoy the series? No as the two can be enjoyed independently. Of course, if you have seen the film, you'll see certain iconic shots in the film, you'll enjoy the modern updates that have been included in this one and you can see how the plot has a bit of a different look and feel as it applies to the collegiate set versus when it focused on those in highschool. It's still a great watch that you can enjoy especially as we head into the holiday season.

ATHLEISURE LIST | CASA SOL AT MAXX ROYAL BODRUM RESORT

It's officially time to think about planning our vacations for 2025 and we can see staying at Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort in Mugla, Turkey and eating at Casa Sol which opened in May of 2024.

Casa Sol is a concept collaboration between the resort and the F&B team with Corporate Chef Naoki Katori leading culinary and Shavinraj "Sha" Gopinath along with global consultancy Proof Creative which focuses on the drinks. The design of he bar and restaurant was led by GEO_ID.

This concept is situated just steps from the beach with dazzling views, Casa Sol transforms from a tranquil scene for a quiet breakfast into a relaxed locale for lunch in between dips in the ocean and a sophisticated nightlife venue as the sun goes down and the vibes pick up. The venue is entirely al fresco, with a mix of bar and restaurant seating for all group sizes.

The cuisine at Casa Sol is progressive Latin, merging traditional recipes with original elements to create an eclectic mix of dishes. The Chef de Cuisine José L. Castañeda Neri is an accomplished chef with a passion for innovative, high-end cuisine and has over a decade of experience in luxury hospitality.

For Breakfast, we suggest: Chilaquiles, which are corn chips cooked in a rich molcajete tomato sauce topped with sour cream, white cheese, avocado, cilantro and fried egg. For Lunch: Pescado Zarandeado, which is grilled seabream rubbed with chilies adobo served with citrus micro salad. For Dinner: Blackened Rib Eye, which is ribeye crusted with recado negro served with roasted eggplant puree, broccolini, roasted onion, chiles toreados & tortillas.

Casa Sol’s signature cocktail menu is split into two sections Sun Hats (lighter, more refreshing daytime options) and Shoulder Pads (features slightly more complex, spirit-forward drinks designed to enjoy into the evening), a nod to the 1980s beach town nostalgia felt throughout the offerings.

We suggest their Canta-Trio, a blend of tequila blanco, a citrus trio of grapefruit, lime and orange, agave and a spiced salt rim, The Balmy Cobbler with Pisco, pineapple, balsamic and berry shrub and lemon, and The Runway, a clarified milk punch with aged rum, banana, house-made grenadine, lemon, mixed berries, orange and a house spice mix.

If you're interested in hosting an event at Casa Sol, they offer a range of options from small gatherings to full buyouts. Their team can provide detailed information to tailor it to your needs.

On Jan 27th, we will be glued to our screens to enjoy S29 of ABC’s The Bachelor which is being helmed by Grant Ellis who was on Jenn Tran’s S21 of The Bachelorette! We watched him navigate his relationship with her until he was eliminated in week 6 right before Hometowns!

A few weeks back, a first look of the women competing in his season was provided via ABC’s The Bachelor Facebook account! (where you can see videos that include more information on him as well as sneak peeks on the upcoming season!

As we do each season, we have shared these images (we’ll update their ABC gallery images) and we’ll begin to make the best guess on who will be going to Hometowns! We can’t wait to see how Grant and Jesse Palmer will vibe as he continues through the season and what surprises will be along the way.

Each night during this season, we will tweet about The Golden Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.

We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!

ATHLEISURE LIST | HEARTY & HEALTHY

This month, we hop down to the East Village to Hearty & Healthy which opened this month for those with a wide range of options that are great for guests with diverse dietary preferences (vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, gluten-free) who want to dine together, along with creative cocktails and mocktails. Chef/partner Eder Hernandez first launched this concept 3 years ago as a pandemic virtual kitchen that has since delivered over 300,000 meals. With such demand for healthier comfort food in the area, he and industry veteran Andee Rosario opened this brick-and-mortar restaurant and bar.

For lunch, we suggest that you try the Signature Harvest Salad with roasted butternut squash, quinoa, apples, avocado, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and kale; Blackened Salmon Salad with avocado, tomatoes, quinoa, feta cheese and lemon vinaigrette; and BLTA Sandwich with smoked crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, pickles and chipotle aioli on sourdough.

For dinner, we have our eye on the Black & Blue Salad with 100% certified grass-fed steak over organic mixed greens, tomatoes, avocado, carrots, crumbled blue cheese and Caesar dressing; Seafood Stew with clams, shrimp, scallops and mussels; and vegan baked Spaghetti Squash with house-made marinara, spinach and tofu cream.

Our favorite meal of the week is Brunch and we're thinking about their Hangover Benny with crispy smoked bacon, prosciutto cotto ham, and hollandaise; Chorizo Skillet with scrambled eggs, Mexican chorizo, queso fresco, jalapeño, salsa, guacamole and soft tortillas; and Vegan Pancakes with seasonal berries, blueberry compote and maple syrup.

As we transition into colder weather keep these on your radar: Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie; braised Short Ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots; fresh pasta with house-made Grass-Fed Beef Bolognese; and vegan Eggplant Pot Pie with basil tomato sauce, mushrooms, quinoa, chickpeas, cashews and tofu cream cheese.

The bar program highlights mezcal, house infusions like jalapeño tequila, spicy cinnamon whiskey, limoncello vodka, and spirit-free cocktails. Creative, aromatic drinks include Sunrise Mezcal with mezcal, ginger syrup, fresh lime and pineapple juice; Tequila Road with tequila blanco, housemade chile morita syrup, fresh lime and grapefruit juices; plus mocktails like Little Miss Pumpkin Spice with pumpkin puree, fresh apple and lemon juices, and cinnamon syrup; and Rosemary Paloma with fresh grapefruit juice, rosemary-infused syrup and lemon off the fun What To Drink When You’re Not Drinking menu.
