Long noodles equal a long life, right? There’s only one way
to find out! (After all, who isn’t down for a good slurp?)
March is National Noodle Month and is a delightful time
to carb load for a cause. Sure, you could go the spaghetti route,
but think outside the box and order the bowl instead. Lemongrass
Asian Bistro invites you to indulge in delightful noodlebased
dishes. Maybe the Duck Noodle Soup, made with housebraised
five spice long island duck, fresh rice noodles, bean
sprouts, garlic, basil and bok choy in duck broth ($19) sounds
like something you could get down on. Or maybe the Drunken
Udon Noodles with stir-fried thick chewy wheat noodles, onion,
chili jam, garlic, Thai basil, red peppers, asparagus and
scallions ($18) tickles your fancy. You can really bring it home
with the Mongolian Udon Noodle entree, with marinated Mongolian
steak, stir fried with thick chewy wheat noodles, chili
jam, garlic, Thai basil, red peppers, onions and scallions ($29).
Whatever your noodle pleasure, Lemongrass is sure to deliver.
Lemongrass Asian Bistro is located at 420 E. Atlantic Ave. Visit

You only have one body, so it’s time to treat it like the temple
that it is! March is National Nutrition Month and not
that you have to always eat right, or always take the stairs,
or always opt for no butter on your movie theater popcorn (if
you’re a psycho), but it’s a great reminder to go that extra step
every now and again. To make this goal less daunting for you,
and since no one really knows how to cook tofu anyway, the
lovely chefs at our downtown eateries are here for you and your
BMI. Head to Elisabetta’s for lunch and lovingly sink your teeth
into their Quinoa and Grilled Chicken Salad, made with gorgonzola
dolce, seasonal vegetables, fingerling potatoes, walnut
vinaigrette for $18. Yes, please! Or maybe City Oyster’s crudo
plates for dinner will do the trick. They’re dishing out tuna with
shallot, garlic, and chili oil; salmon with avocado, micro cilantro,
and pickled jalapeños; and hamachi with ponzu, jalapeño,
and garlic, for $17 each. If you’re feeling the meat, Gary Rack’s
Farmhouse Kitchen’s Nut & Seed Crusted Chicken, with roasted
Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, cauliflower, and mustard vinaigrette
for $26 is sure to hit the spot. Regardless of your selections,
going the nutritious route has never been more delicious
and more doable. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call
(561) 243-1077 for more information and restaurant locations.
