ABC Elixir Bar

A juice and smoothie extension to Jean-Georges Vongerichten's market-driven restaurant ABC Kitchen has opened, with a similar focus on organic, seasonal produce, much of it purchased from the nearby Union Square Greenmarket. The philosophy couldn't be clearer than in a drink called the Local (pear, apple, carrot, beet, lemon, ginger and local bee pollen); other concoctions are a little more flexible in their sourcing, such as a smoothie made with hemp protein, Thai coconut meat, pineapple, agave, lime, cilantro, kale and avocado. Baked goods from the restaurant's pastry chef, Cindy Bearman, include muffins, scones and biscotti.
