Healthy cheap eats

Urban Rustic

Raw Soul
Try the $10 lunch special at this local-raw-food joint: a personal pizza on sprouted buckwheat dough with Brazil-nut-and-walnut “cheese,” sun-dried tomatoes and vegetable toppings, plus soup. 348 W 145th St between Edgecombe and St. Nicholas Aves (212-491-5859, rawsoul.com)

Urban Rustic
Make your own sandwich at this café and grocery, which looks to farms like Satur and Blooming Hill for its ingredients. Order spelt bread, choose a protein and stack on the veggies ($5–$8). 236 North 12th St at Driggs Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-388-9444, urbanrusticnyc.com)

Bklyn Larder
After grazing on cheese samples, tuck into tender Greenmarket zucchini in tomato sauce and sugar snaps with oil and lemon ($9/lb). 228 Flatbush Ave between Bergen St and Sixth Ave, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-783-1250, bklynlarder.com).

’SNice
This chilled-out flesh-free chainlet is so good, even carnivores like it. Get a bit of vegan chipotle mayo in every bite of the smoked-tempeh–and-avocado wrap (Manhattan $8.75, Brooklyn $7.50), then find room for a vegan date bar (Manhattan $2.75, Brooklyn $2.50). 45 Eighth Ave at W 4th St (212-645-0310) • 315 Fifth Ave at 3rd St Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-788-2121)

Souen Noodles
Finding pork-free ramen is normally no easy task, but at this new outpost of 38-year-old macrobiotic chainlet Souen, vegetarian slurpers are in luck. Go for a simple shoyu ramen ($9.50) with wakame, cabbage, scallion sprouts and organic wheat noodles, or branch out with the steaklike goma tofu ($5.50) and a heap of garlic greens ($6.50) for good measure. 326 E 6th St between First and Second Aves (212-388-1733, souen.net)
