Downtown |
“ Eureka! I've found where all the hip kids are hiding downtown on weekdays! They're at Boxed Foods, packed into a tiny shop on Kearny, all lined up to order organically produced sandwiches and salads. I'm not the most fashionable girl on the block, but I instantly wanted to be friends with the crowd at Boxed Foods--the kids both behind the counter and in front of it. While waiting for my baked tofu salad with glass noodles, baby spinach, and wasabi peas ($8), I eyed a girl who had 1960s beige boots that had a fold-over collar above the ankle. One fellow had a half metallic shirt (remember on Project Runway the Cher outfit Bradley made?). The prep-ster taking my order chatted with another guy about his $400 bicycle (how stylin'). And the babe who handed me my food was a smiley, perky contrast to what one expects from the too-cool. I also was instantly gratified by the aqua tiles, wall-sized chalk board menu, and curvy bar that serves as a waiting area, piled high with magazines. Love it. ”
