Candle Managers, you have an entire NY City neighborhood waiting for you to bring your excellent food, drinks and desserts to the Upper West Side. We where so fortunate when Whole Foods opened in Columbus Circle; it was like hitting the Lotto, now we just need you and the Upper West Side will be complete! more

Went here for dinner on a trip into the city but was underwhelmed by the food. We started out with the tomato chickpea and miso soup. The miso was solid but the tomato was just so-so. For entrees we tried a walnut-encrusted tempeh special and the lasagna. Both were edible but tasted like they were missing something...they were pretty bland.... more
