I took out some surprisingly good veggie sushi yesterday from the Mecca that is Whole Foods Columbus Circle. With an empty stomach and some time to spare, you could get seriously intentionally lost in this place. I tell you this because I have. From their sit-down sushi bar to endless sample tables, I’m like a kid in the candy store section of Whole Foods.

My $6 dinner came from the daily packaged sushi counter. The miso-vinegar sauce initially drew me to this roll, and the price sealed the deal; their fish sushi can get all sorts of expensive.

Sushi in hand, I walked over to the Express Line… only it was swamped. So, I did my super secret Ninja Whole Foods Trick of checking out at the café counter. Yup! As long as you buy a drink from the barista, they’ll happily check you out. You’re welcome.

Carrots, spinach and avocado wrapped in seaweed and brown rice… can’t tell me that ain’t healthy! The miso dipping sauce was thick, creamy and way lower in sodium than the usual soy sauce. Not to mention, it was all pretty filling. 9 pieces and I was full for the night…

…if you don't count the 12 am Creamsicle Tea Cake. Don't judge me.
