New Neighborhood Eat
September 27, 2009
Greenpoint’s Brooklyn Standard Deli is a localvore’s dream. They’re all about supporting the community as a mart, cafe and bakery brimming with Brooklyn love. Like me! (Most of the time…) Thought sustainable corn cups were something only for far more environmentally progressive cities? Think again! Brooklyn Standard Deli is on it. And naturally, they got vegan options on their menu… Placing an order through Delivery.com, I soon had my first taste of what they have to offer. An avocado sandwich on a soft and hearty multi-grain/seeded hero with mango sauce, lettuce, smoked red pepper and grilled red onion; a side of quinoa salad with dried apricots, cranberries, lemon-mango vinaigrette, lavender oil, green beans and parsley; and an exploded gingerade kombucha. Yum. Can’t wait to drop in for their Banh Mi.
