Could This Be The Healthiest Block In NYC?

If you have been sitting on your duff all winter, it would be best to avoid the stretch on Third Avenue in Manhattan between East 83rd and East 84th Streets, or you may find yourself riddled with guilt! This, people, is perhaps the healthiest block in all of NYC! The dress code is largely spandex, the physiques unusually trim, seems everyone in this neighborhood is obsessed with fitness.

You can spin at SoulCycle, if you can get a reservation.

 

Not your speed? Try sweating it out at The Bikram Yoga studio just above it.

Is that a stretch? Then an array of workout flavors at the esteemed Exceed Physical Culture across the street...

With all that working out, you are bound to build up a thirst! So, for your convenience, there are not one, but two super healthy, organic, veganny juice shops a couple of doors apart. Seems that the hood just cant get enough as there is another juice shop just another half block away.

Finally, the block just wouldn't be complete without a large salad shop...

How healthy is this area? A Krispy Kreme opened a half block away in 2007 and only lasted a few months! So, if fitness is your thing, or you want to be shamed into your workout gear, this might be the block for you. Otherwise, you can just hit the 27,000sf Equinox, yoga studio, and juice shop on the next block!
