Agavi Organic Juice Bar now has 2 locations in Manhattan: the original in the East Village, and the newly opened location in Chelsea, at the Terminal Stores. After a scenic stroll along the Hudson River, I was in need of a pick-me-up, and Agavi Organic Juice Bar fit the bill.

Raw Vegan Treats from Wise Cicada

It is rich in antioxidants that can help prevent cancer and heart disease, and can help to regulate sugar levels in the body.
