Out in the field again today... I took my work pal Frank's suggestion and went to his "spot" Nanoosh in the UWS. Not only is Frank an excellent employee in our locations department, but he is also a connoisseur of fine food, aka HUMMUS BAR! I ordered the Hummus and Mushroom Wrap. According to the menu, it comes with Hummus, tahini, organic greens, sauteed organic mushrooms and organic onions. I was sold at organic. It also comes with a side of either mediterranean salad or quinoa salad. To spice it up, I went with the quinoa salad. It was a nice little portion and had raisins, cranberries, chopped tomatoes, peppers, walnuts, and cilantro. If you dont know what quinoa is, it's very similar to couscous, just larger in size and crispier texture. Quinoa and Couscous are both fun words to say. Say them out loud, and you'll understand.
So now onto the wrap... The wrap bread was paper thin, similar to a crepe thickness. I think it was whole wheat, so I didnt feel so guilty about it. The warm onions and mushrooms added such a great contrast with the cold hummus and tahini. Typing this out is making me hungry... I'm gonna go there again very soon and I think you should too. I mean they serve bowls full of hummus with pita bread! That's just awesome.
PS Nanoosh delivers to central park. They have a special called Nanoosh Dip Picnic Tray and 4 people can share! Double date anyone?!?
Nanoosh is located at 2012 Broadway at 68th st.
