A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

If you live in Brookline, you know Rami’s. Since opening in 1990, Rami’s has been serving up falafel to the community, with a recipe Rami brought over from Jerusalem. Recently, Rami’s son Haim opened up his own restaurant next door, Pure Cold Press, a casual place where you can grab a healthy bite to eat. The look and feel of Pure Cold Press is a complete 180 of his father’s space. The restaurant that seats 35 feels spacious and bright. Reclaimed wood lines the walls and the bright green chairs add that needed pop of color. In addition to fresh juices, the restaurant offers sandwiches and a salad station, similar in style to Sweet Green.

I’m not going to lie, green juice scares me a little bit. A little too healthy for my liking… but while I was in, I tried a sample of Pure Cold Press’ green juice and it was delicious, even a little sweet! I’m not going to go crazy and start buying gallons of green juice, but I appreciated trying something different and new and it changed my opinion on green juice.

I picked up the morning rooster (right) and the zen juice (left) to drink at home. The morning rooster is a blend of orange, grapefruit and lemon juices with a hint of cayenne. I like to start my day with a glass of orange juice, morning rooster is a nice alternative, just a little bit brighter – a little sweet, a little tart, really tasty. The zen juice is a blend of watermelon and lemon juices with a hint of cayenne. A really nice light and clean tasting option, perfect for a hot summer day.
