imageOne too many white cosmos last night got you hankering for a stack o' flapjacks and biscuits? Get an organic soul-food fix at the newly opened Community Food and Juice to counter the chems you guzzled last night. The Clinton Street Baking Co. brunch gurus have made their way to Harlem and are cooking up piles of wild blueberry pancakes, flaky whole wheat buttermilk biscuits, and warm farro porridge with local honey. That's good news for you, your hangover, and the earth, since organic farming uses 97% fewer pesticides than conventional farming. It's time to ride the 1 line uptown, cuz Harlem's soul food is goin' green.
Wanna Try: 
Community Food and Juice, 2893 Broadway at 112th St. (212-665-2800). Wild Maine blueberry pancakes, $10.

Cocktail Fact

The Waffle House restaurant chain sells one waffle or pancake every three seconds - that's almost 260,000 every day.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters cure their next hangover with organic pancakes instead of a local diner's fry-fest, we'll avert 40 coffee cups worth of pesticides from entering the environment.
