Checked out this locally owned health food store in Washington Heights. It gets pretty cramped in…read morethis small place that's located on Broadway at 171st. NAAR specializes in herbs and supplements. Also has organic foods but pretty expensive. This is good if looking for some alternative medications. A pretty small place but it packs a lot in here. It's better than going to a chain store. The prices aren't that bad on some of the things. Popped in here after not feeling good. They have lots of things at the counter in front including ginger chews that were good in a time like this. Affordable for a pack full. There's also tons of vitamins. Also has a refrigerated section with organic and vegan foods. These foods can be found cheaper even at Whole Foods so forget about these. Good to go to a small business. It's limited selection but there's lots to get here. There's plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Great convenient spot for "special diet" grocery items (vegan, GF, etc) and prepared foods. I've…read morereally been digging their Plantega menu, which offers a nice selection of vegan options. The owner, or maybe manager, is very kind and helpful. My only quibble is that there's one employee who is really resistant to making the grill/deli options as advertised. Sometimes he'll give you pushback, but other times he'll just leave things out, so check your food before leaving. More than once I've done that and found some key ingredient missing.

Got here to get a few healthy items and snacks at this organic store in Fort George. It doesn't…read morehave a lot to be honest. Organic Paradise has organic foods obviously. Just a few. The stuff here is also expensive and many things can be past the expiration it seems. Best thing that can be said is at least there's an option for this stuff around here. It's a ways from a lot of other health food stores. That doesn't mean the products should be old and browning though. Produce certainly isn't worth it. Way overpriced. Has a bin full of frozen foods. These are all mixed up and who knows how long these have been in there. Have to say maybe it's best a place to get a few snacks and not look to get ingredients for a meal. It's way cheaper at most places even at Whole Foods it seems. They have pretty limited selection, but there's bulk items such as grains, and plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

I was thrilled when a health food store finally opened in this area. Unfortunately, while I do…read moreshop here on occasion, I can't recommend Karrot as much as I would like to. The selection is mixed, and focusses heavily on prepackaged items. There are no bulk bins for fruit, muesli, nuts, etc. The selection of tofu and fake-meat veggie items is really small. It's definitely a good start, and a welcome addition that the neighborhood was definitely lacking, and I like the feel/attitude of the place. But the selection and choices need to be a lot wider and broader before I can be really excited about it.

Super cute little boutique with a wide variety of CBD and THC products and related merchandise…read more The vibe is chill and not at all intimidating, with a great smell inside from the scented candles they sell. I discovered Greenhaus Boutique when I attended a breast cancer fundraiser held there. If you're new to the scene and don't know where to start, the very nice, very knowledgeable owners are onsite to steer you in the right direction. They have everything; the green stuff, gummies, tinctures, drinks, cocktail mixers, pet supplements, candles, t-shirts, and more! If you need pain relief, have insomnia, need post-workout recovery, need a non-THC product for those who have to test on occasion, or just need to chill, they got you! And the prices are decent too. The boutique is at the corner of a very busy little intersection with not the best parking, but the area is very walkable and also easily accessible by bus. There are tons of GREAT Asian eateries along the street, which makes this a very interesting area to explore on foot.

This place is amazing. I visited during their soft opening and the proprietors greeted us warmly…read moreand took us around their business. Some dispensaries give you an overwhelming vibe, and this felt more like being in a gift shop with specialty products. There are pet products for fur babies, oils, chocolates, soaps, salves, tinctures, vape cartridges, teas, SELTZERs and my favorite, the CBD honey. I am sure that I missed something, but they have it. I am especially delighted to support a POC owned business that is both S. Asian and Black owned, which makes my little dougla heart leap. We had a great time sampling products during their launch, learning about some of the product offerings and their benefits. I am not a smoker so it's great to learn the health benefits of CBD and the multitude of ways to get the benefits from a variety of products. This place is a win win and must- visit! It's on the corner of Schlosser and Main in the heart of Fort Lee shopping district.
