Melvin's Juice Box

If you spend ten seconds at Melvin's Juice Box, most likely waiting on line, and you don't have a crush on the liquid legend himself, smiling uncontrollably as he grooves behind the counter and juices the hell out of everything in sight, you've lost a spark for life. If you're not a hopeless human, or perhaps are looking to socialize without having to hand in your recently acquired AA chip (right on, you!), get a move on to this gem behind Miss Lily's in Soho and get your happy juices flowing!

The ultimate hangout for a post workout, out and about, afternoon catch up stop, you'll be sipping on shakes, and picking on Caribbean classics alongside some desperately cool crew. For a first timer, the Rootsman is a must - an unexpectedly delicious mix of coconut, kale, and banana. Toss in a roti, and the best soundtrack in New York. And yeah, good vibes only.
