On Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 1:30pm Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano joined, longtime Yonkers residents, Jason Phillips better known to the world as Jadakiss and David Styles aka Styles P to cut the ribbon on their new juice bar, Juices for Life located at 211 Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers. Juices For Life is the second for Styles, The first one is located at 1026 Castle Hill Ave opened in 2011. Styles opened a third location (second in the Bronx) and then on September 2016 a new store opened in Brooklyn by Radio Personality Angela Yee with the rappers blessing. Juices for Life is more than a brand, Jadakiss explains in his signature rasp, “our juice bars are opened in the hood on purpose to educate our people on health awareness.”

“We consider ourselves family to everyone who walks through our doors and to everyone who lives a juicing lifestyle. This includes all healthy lifestyles that will help our children, parents, siblings and all family members within our community. Although we sell fruits, vegetable, wheat grass, sea moss and Love Is Love protein powder, don’t forget that we are still a bar. We consider ourselves “Cheers” for the healthy folk. Instead of a shot of Whisky you can get a shot of wheat grass. If you need a healthy and cool social hangout spot that has a diverse group of people, then come visit Juices for Life.”

Jolo’s Kitchen where everything is vegan! They only serve plant-based foods. They aim to serve healthy meals made with fresh ingredients, and surprisingly realistic “veggiemeats” filled with delicious flavors, and textures. Our diverse daily specials are full of creativity, fresh ingredients and variety. Jolo’s appeals to the humane conscious eaters and ensure that their ingredients meet a high standard of quality that you can trust. Jolo’s offers a constantly changing array of vegetable-, grain- and fruit-based dishes that are so delicious even meat lovers will be pleased. Jolo Moise, the chef and owner, believes vegan food is more healthful, so he creates dishes meant to convince carnivores that they need not eat meat. “Veggie ribz,” made of tofu in a tangy mushroom sauce, have a good texture and flavor. The “soysage” is an appealing alternative to Italian sausage. Most diners buy takeout, but there are a few tables and a juice bar with stools in the colorful, pleasant space for those who want to eat in.

SEASONED VEGAN

55 ST NICHOLAS AVE, NEW YORK, NY 10026 (212) 222-0092

The first and only full-service vegan restaurant in Harlem serving a variety of dishes enjoyable to anyone who loves great tasting, HEALTHY cuisine.

Seasoned Vegan is a family business owned and operated by mother and son, Brenda and Aaron Beener. We pride ourselves on being loyal to our vegan/vegetarian customers by maintaining an organic, 100% vegan menu while creating meals that are delicious enough to satisfy the most skeptical omnivore.

Chef Brenda Beener’s restaurant specializes in preparing a very unique type of cuisine: gourmet vegan soul food. Using the term “soul food” loosely because they are not referring exclusively to the typical cuisine of the Southern region of the United States.

Soul food is any meal prepared by a chef who not only includes flavorful ingredients but also infuses tender love and care. With that as a founding theme, Seasoned Vegan gives typical Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern,Caribbean and American dishes a vegan, home cooked, soulful twist www.seasonedvegan.com Twitter: @SeasonedVegan
