Out to Lunch
The Bite
There's nothing wrong with being crazy - especially if it's for tasty seasonal grub. Get your meds at Bar Jules now that it's open for lunch. This intimate yet casual spot doesn't take rezzies, and its California-cuisine menu changes daily, so it's great place for a drop-in (it does dinner too). Local produce - such as the sauteed escarole or leeks to accompany your scallops - is in heavy rotation, minimizing emissions from transport. Providing sustainable meat and fish is also a top priority, so your slow-cooked lamb with artichokes and mint will support producers who keep pesticides and antibiotics off your plate and off the earth. Sanity at last.
